Quit: PARADAIS by Fernanda Melchor, translated by Sophie Hughes. 201 for original Spanish. 2022 for English. 9780811231329.
Guy working as maintenance at a gated and exclusive community in a smaller Mexican city sorta makes friends with a creepy local teen. The friendship is based on the skeezy local guy stealing money from his grandparents and buying booze for him and the maintenance guy.
A short novel at 112 pages. But, I think there are no sentences shorter than half a page. Loooooong sentences throughout the work and the style got way too annoying.
Comments:
- Are the long sentences meant to show a thought process by a character?
- Long sentences as a constant mental bebop of the character?
- Long sentences as a "check this out literay pals!" by the writer?
- Doesn't matter because I just wanted to read the story and not analyze the style or text.
