was gonna be an anthology

purely because the guy was dying

if he was healthy itd have been a massive novel so they published it as one

its a page turner

cool ill prob start reading it then lol

ye after the first 50 pages u wont be about to put it down

its worth it alone just for book 4 + 5

1 is also really good

but book 4 is like

What is it about?

i wont say much but

its 5 books

all have mexico as a backdrop

to varying degrees

book 4 for example is about mexican police

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

Fuck those guys, the police I mean.

book 2 is about a mexican philosophy teacher

etc

some characters meet up, some dont

So it's about some Mexicans...

no

I'd rather the red chamber thrn

its about a serial killer in mexico

idk its hard to explain without spoilers

its front runner for novel of the century

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

One serial killer?

read the book and find out

There were at least 20 involved in those cases.

IRL

i dont think its based on a true story

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

who get raped

Yeah, thousands of them.

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

It was really bad.

wew

mexico is horrifying

at least you have hot girls there
