A slim, well-regarded novel in translation from the Spanish. I’m all in.
It begins:
They’re like worms.
What kind of worms?
Like worms, all over.
It’s the boy who’s talking, murmuring into my ear. I am the one asking questions.
Intriguingly weird, yes? And I’m entranced by the cover. Horses and worms. Stay tuned.
This quotation comes from an uncorrected advance proof and is subject to change.
