Title: Depressing, pointless narrative
Product review: ...A book about random acts of random people. Prose is asoverblown as in ALL THE PRETTY HORSES. Too much geographical detail -the ennui and angst might have been better without the detail - we might have begun to view this in an "everyman" light. Part of the story may have been ruled too upsetting, too subversive or too stupid by the editors, who have set it in Spanish so we don't need to pay attention to whatever is happening or whatever the characters are saying.This is better written than ALL THE PRETTY HORSES and slightly riveting, mostly because there is only one point of view. Sadly, the point of view doesn't open on any vista worth seeing or investigating.
