This was such a sad book. A blend of fiction and philosophy told by a narrator we never know much about, not even the name. The broken star's name is Macabea and it's about her and like 4 people she has ever known in her whole life.

such an interesting way of writing, i'm not sure what to rate this, if anything. i did enjoy my time with it, there's a lot of stream of consciousness going on which i liked, a lot of it went over my head though but that's fine. i might read this one again !

'Meanwhile the clouds are white and the sky is all blue. Why so much God. Why not a little for men.'

Un personaje (y es una generosidad decirle "personaje") tan rematadamente aburrido como Macabea no tiene derecho a gastarse cinco páginas en morirse.

I don't quite know how to rate this because quite frankly, I hated this. And yet, -
Amusing at times, but also deeply bleak. There is a strange kindness in the writing though, which all in all makes for something of an emotional reading experience. Many open ended questions on consciousness. I’m open and floating about now because of it.
I'm surprised to feel such a liking toward it by the end -
I suppose it just is itself so well.
Strangely, and like I said, surprisingly, I might just come back to this one!
