Moshfegh's books are page turners and funny, but they are also horrific and filled with dread. In a conversation with jilliansayre@bookwyrm.social, we were trying to figure out if you could say you "enjoyed" a novel by Moshfegh. It's a complicated question. This book is no different. You likely won't be able to put it down, but you might not be able to figure out why you keep turning pages (and you might ask yourself what that fact says about you).

Uno de los mejores libros que he leído

5 stars

Es difícil decir eso de "este es el mejor libro que he leído nunca", porque bueno, depende del día. Sobre héroes y tumbas de Sábato, o la inclasificable "la casa de las hojas", de Danielewski, las colecciones de cuentos de Borges, Nuestra parte de noche de Mariana Enríquez etc... son libros que me han dejado el cerebro fundido, y Lapvona lo ha vuelto a hacer. Es cierto que no está muy desarrollado, es una novela muy corta, que hubiera ganado con 200-300 páginas más. Realmente el final te sabe a poco.
