Not Even the Dead by Juan Gómez Bárcena

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
I stopped reading because I picked this up for a challenge to read 10 books in translation from non-European countries. Realized 20% in that Juan Gómez Bárcena is, in fact, Spanish. Womp womp. There's simply not time! We're on challenge deadlines here, people!
