Now that I also have an account on Bookwyrm, I'm not exactly sure what to do with posts like this since posting original commentary across three or four different sites is really too much, but while I mull over that issue, I just have to point out that I finished the most amazing book just now.
Time of the Flies by Claudia Piñeiro (tr. Frances Riddle) was supposed to be the last book in my #TranslatedLitChallenge for 2024, but through all the chaos of going to Canada I didn't actually have the opportunity to read it--which meant that it became the perfect book for January's prompt this year (a book you meant to read the previous year).
What an absolutely stunning piece of feminist fiction from Argentina. The shifting perspectives really worked in building up tension throughout the story and the footnotes (presumably of the original in Spanish) were an extra fun touch that made the story not only incredibly thought-provoking and enjoyable, but educational as well. I really loved it!
