Book: The News from Paraguay
You win some, you lose some. What started out as an "elegant" romantic history became far more violent than I expected. True, some narratives and storylines call for detailed descriptions of torture and death, but somehow The News from Paraguay dissolved into horror in a jarring, vulgar feeling way. I wish I had not read this book.
