This goes along with how much I disliked the level of misogyny in the book. Yeah I understand the narrative of a story doesn't equate to the stance of the author, but I've never seen a book quite as crude as this one, where every female character is regularly described by their ass, tits, and how fuckable they are. Intended or not, I don't believe this book offers any valid criticisms on violent misogyny because the criticisms of machismo itself was weak. Describing bad things that happen to women isn't anything new and doesn't automatically mean criticism. I honestly felt that this story had a very hateful display towards women and I'm not surprised by what I saw after searching up the author.
The last thing I'll say is that I also found the magical realism in the story to be lacking. I kept hearing about fukú, but I wasn't seeing it. It seemed a rather weak, and unnecessary, explanation for all the tragedies happening to Oscar's family when living under the rule of a dictator is explanation enough.
