Is definitely not Borges but the cognitive and empirical dialectic that can be seen in the previews to this work highlight his ... I am joking I have no idea what this book is

I read this in Spanish, I have an English copy lying around somewhere but I've never read the translation. It was good, not the best I've ever read but something that I'll remember reading. I think the prequel was pretty good, maybe give it a read, don't bother with the sequel.

was that the book where he cucks his friend by fucking his sister or something of the sort? also i always found it weird how they treated the blind girl for not wanting to fuck a 13 year old and fucking someone her age instead, it read like some kind of twisted teenager revenge port.

if i remember right it was good, but "young fiction"-good, not "literature"-good. definitely not on the level of borges, just a random spanish best-seller

that must be one of the most generic empty book titles ever

sotw is a book that floats on the fact that there are a large number of readers that will buy anything you say so long as you throw in some empty romanticism and stroke their ego over how they like reading books

like i'm not even mad i think pretty much everyone who writes professionally has done something like that at some point but carlos fuckin cracked the CODE dude. like it's pitch perfect
