to: Rain God (Paperback)byArturo Islas
This is a dense little book. I'm reading it for an English class and I was, and still am, surprised by the simple power of the language. It gives the impression of being effortlessly written on the surface, but the actual story is a layered mess of family history spread out over about 80 years and across two countries. Powerful indeed. The only reason that I'm not giving it a four star rating is because it seems like a 180 page distillation of what modern Mexican soap operas, and many American prime time dramas, as well as American daytime soaps, have incorporated into their plot structures across many seasons worth of story.
A Goodread nonetheless.

Invaluable. There is like absolutely ZERO criticism that I managed to find about this book and it kind of sucks because it sheds some much needed light on The Sound and the Fury.

"crazy. I think that I'm going to stop reading this for awhile. It's good, but it's also about 20 years removed from present LA. "
yes yes. I actually started this awhile back but didn't get a chance to get through it, and then I ended up reading Combray Part 1 for a literature class, but I haven't gotten farther than that.
