Un libro absolutamente clásico de la literatura latinoamericana, enrevesado; con una estructura fragmentaria que va encajando sus piezas lentamente para construir el declive de un pueblo que va muriendo con un hombre.

deeply dark. can definitely see why gabriel garcia marquez thought juan rulfo was everything and more.  
i really enjoyed the nonlinear approach and how disorienting and unclear the boundaries between the living and the dead were. however, it’s another novel that is horrible to every single female character and doesn’t mince words about it. pretty rough read in that sense

Moody and contemplative, as a good ghost story should be.

The format is almost dream-like, which is onteresting to read and adds to the tension I think.
