"There’s a whole wave of Latin American fiction that I didn’t encounter until later in life. In high school one reads grand narratives like Don Quixote, and Garcia Marquez was the closest to contemporary we got. This felt like watching the movie Ghost World; there’s something very exciting and fun about the quotidian in it."

Fun and unique. I enjoyed reading a book that had been written in another language initially, kind-of eye-opening. I like the premise, but it's a little slow at some points and at other points it seems a little... too technical. Often I got confused on which character was which. But worth checking out if you are into contemporary science fiction!!!

When I was on vacation abroad, I finished reading this very interesting, contemporary, women’s fiction novel, set in my home town of Chicago. This book was offered to me by the author’s publicist, and if you want to know what I thought of it, I hope you'll read my #bookreview on my blog now. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/10/18/games-sets-and-mismatched/
