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

I think I'd give this a higher rating if I'd read it in Spanish, since I feel like some things are lost in translation.
Minor: War, Sexual assault, and Incest
