review 1: No es perfecto, no es 'redondo', pero la fuerza onírica y alucinatoria de este libro, sobre todo en su primera mitad, no puede dejar indiferente. Mi interpretación apunta a la opresión que ejerce la comunidad, el entorno, sobre los que piensan y actúan diferente, equiparando 'la tradición' a una religión que no admite heterodoxias y cuya única posibilidad de escape es la deshumanización o la muerte, y aún así no cualquier muerte.
review 2: I think, that this story, is supposed to be an allegory for Fascist Spain. Regardless, it's about a young man, growing up somewhere beautiful and totally fucked, where people eat horse fat and stuff people full of cement so their soul can't escape. What. Seriously, though, it's as beautiful as it is really creepy an... mored strange. Sort of if Guillermo del Toro were a writer instead of a filmmaker, and used more magical realism, and less wonderland. less
