Twisted Crows by Will Canduri
3.0
Twisted Crows is presented as a compilation of short stories that celebrate Spanish culture and include some twists and turns along the way. As I immersed myself in this book I found that the synopsis led me to believe these stories would have particular undertones that would evoke twists and turns. While I discovered the latter insinuation to be lacking, the promise of the presence of folktales was the most successful and prevalent aspect of the content of this book.
The writing style appeared discordant at first, but as I adapted to the stylistic choices of the writing I could sense an efficient organization of thoughts which appeared to occasionally present themselves in a stream of consciousness manner. When I caught on to the author's voice I enjoyed this read when I could grasp the message behind the tale.
If I were to define this book, I would say that is a compilation of stories that gaze towards the perceived futuristic and historical experience of humans and their multitudes of achievements and foibles. It is a social commentary and a worldview that attempts to encapsulate how our intimate worlds orbit within a greater context. I also believe different readers will grasp a variety of interpretations and meanings behind this body of Spanish-infused parables.
