چرا آدم ها نمیتوانند با هم حرف بزنند و تنها کلمات در سرشان به در و دیوار میخورد؟

Obviously a translation, but superbly written nonetheless, and I'm not normally a fan of naturalism. The novel is the incomplete confession of a killer that takes us through his harsh life and its always destructive twists and turns. Rather dark and depressing, but Cela's images sparkle and his portrait of a violent man, while it can be disturbing, remains sympathetic.

Oh..my.

Mai m’havia trobat un llibre així… incòmode de llegir però super ben escrit.

“Yo, señor, no soy malo, aunque no me faltarían motivos para serlo”.
