God it was SO GOOD. But Also I read it at 14 and don’t rennet anything and I’m sure most of it went over my head. Perhaps I should revisit it instead of just rereading the first section to 2666 many times since I can never bear the murder and violence that is to come and just end up aborting it.

mybestfriendsusb lol I shouldn’t age myself on this app but that’s how old I was when it came out and I was the kinda kid who read the Times Book Review. Probs should give it a go instead of just reading the mid stuff published after.

It was a novel I read being the same age as the characters, and it was a book that showed me a lot about my country and different ways to perceive poetry and kind of the evolution of a movement that went down in Mexico, at the same time it kind of makes fun of the art and literature scene in Mexico and the world at the time

god this book is beautiful. somehow both a slow burn and constantly moving. i read love in the time of cholera more recently, which was very good, but there’s something so magical about 100 years and i just can’t recommend it enough
