12.29.2019 || my professor wrote this book and i read it for his class. it's an interesting book that does a lot in a little space. the commentary is clever, and the touch of humor makes it easier to read a story that would otherwise be devastating. i do think there were an awful lot of characters for such a short novel, and while i think it goes to show just how far the general's reach goes, i don't think every character was created equally. (also, deducting a star because there's a weird amount of sex for a book about a violent coup, written by your very old professor.)
