Review: 2019.550 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: If you speak some Spanish, the chapter headings are amusing.
Con: I found the story impossible to get into. It’s a mix of the serious and the surreal that never gels. I found myself repeatedly checking my place in the story to see how much was left to read.
