reaffirms that my sweet spot for literature seems to be the 20s and 30s. Some real gut-punches of brutality, and just exceptionally well written and structured.
elements of surrealism and magical realism, as well as some pure documentary realism, all beautifully mixed together.
in the age of Trump, it is also perhaps useful to engage with a text like this. Power and brutality and selfishness abound....
