Mamut es el fi al de la trilogia. Boulder y Permafrost son excepcionales. Este me ha dejado con mal sabor de boca. La historia, a difere cia de las otras dos, la encuentro previsible y sin demasiada atención a loa momentos clave de cambio de la protagonista. El final parece precipitado. Eso sí, el lenguaje exquisito, como es habitual en Baltasar, a menudo me paro a re leer frases. Una de las mejores voces de la literatura en catalán del momento

This was definitely the best of the woman moved to the country and reconnects with #theland that I’ve read, but I think the narrative doesn’t really go anywhere? Which is probably the point, but left me a bit unsatisfied. I like the relationship to sex in this novel, the translation is beautiful, the language is great, but yeah I don’t fully know how this really sits within me

Not sure I understand what exactly drives the protagonist. I'll continue thinking about this one but despite that, I continue to be in awe of Baltasar's prose.
Moderate: Animal cruelty
