2018-01-29 06:30:29 UTC

2018-01-29 06:31:01 UTC  

all have mexico as a backdrop

2018-01-29 06:31:05 UTC  

to varying degrees

2018-01-29 06:31:12 UTC  

book 4 for example is about mexican police

2018-01-29 06:31:22 UTC  

book 1 is about 3 europeans who go to mexico to find an author

2018-01-29 06:31:24 UTC  

Fuck those guys, the police I mean.

2018-01-29 06:31:37 UTC  

book 2 is about a mexican philosophy teacher

2018-01-29 06:31:39 UTC  

etc

2018-01-29 06:31:44 UTC  

some characters meet up, some dont

2018-01-29 06:32:06 UTC  

So it's about some Mexicans...

2018-01-29 06:32:09 UTC  

no

2018-01-29 06:32:27 UTC  

I'd rather the red chamber thrn

2018-01-29 06:32:31 UTC  

its about a serial killer in mexico

2018-01-29 06:32:40 UTC  

idk its hard to explain without spoilers

2018-01-29 06:32:50 UTC  

its front runner for novel of the century

2018-01-29 06:33:04 UTC  

so def worth reading just to keep up with the current literary cultural zietgeist

2018-01-29 06:33:15 UTC  

One serial killer?

2018-01-29 06:33:29 UTC  

read the book and find out

2018-01-29 06:33:32 UTC  

There were at least 20 involved in those cases.

2018-01-29 06:33:38 UTC  

IRL

2018-01-29 06:33:42 UTC  

i dont think its based on a true story

2018-01-29 06:34:01 UTC  

a lot of the murders are very young girls with long black hair

2018-01-29 06:34:04 UTC  

who get raped

2018-01-29 06:34:26 UTC  

Yeah, thousands of them.

2018-01-29 06:34:35 UTC  

like i said tho, for most of the book that doesnt come into play

2018-01-29 06:34:36 UTC  

It was really bad.

2018-01-29 06:34:41 UTC
