'Crooked Plow' by Itamar Vieira Junior - BOOK REVIEW 

Thx dude. Saving me from reading boring shit! You are the hero in this story.

This is my favourite read of the year by far, so this review is very odd to me. Anyways. Free speech.

Bit of a Faulknerian tribute act to The Sound and the Fury plotwise, though nowhere near as good stylistically. Did like it overall but I agree that there’s stretches that are anonymous between some really engrossing patches.

will give u kudos for sticking it out till the ending but I'm not going to pick it up after this review though I like the cover art so may bookmark it⚛😀

glad I didnt continue past the first 30 pages!!

"It could have been narrated by a fking cauliflower"

This book is a huge success here in Brazil, celebrated by a certain side of the political spectrum. Everything I hear from it sounds anachronistic, uninteresting and boring, but the marketing around it is quite powerful ( because everything that belongs to this specific political spectrum, these days, gets maximum support from the cultural machine ). I know I should be here commemorating a fellow Brazilian brother who is taking our literature to the realms of the International Booker Prize, but let's be fair, it all sounds like a political theater and literature should have nothing to do with it. In spite of all my annoyance, I will read this book in order to understand the hype about it and try to make sense of the mechanisms behind it. By the way, I've enjoyed your review. You make very interesting points.
