really not for me but there were some beautiful passages. i felt tense reading this, which isn't something i can say i usually feel when reading. 

lemons and skeletons, life and mortality, anatomy and plastination, and, of course, flights

i got this book because i loved the translator's memoir .

Me costó un poco concentrarme para leerlo, me gustó la ironía que notaba en varios relatos, buen libro para esta cuarentena interminable, ya que me recordó cosas tan simples como la dinámica de un aeropuerto o de las guías turísticas
