By Night the Mountain Burns by Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel

3.0

Another entry in my 'books of the world' reading project, this one from the Spanish-speaking African country of Equatorial Guinea. I've found it difficult to rate authors who are imitating oral storytelling tradition as they generally don't adhere to a linear plot. The writing is repetitive and melodic, the story dramatic and dark.
