Placeholder Latin America

This novel could not have been published a decade ago; the internet was not yet ingrained into our lives. In her first novel, the author has created a work that captures our time. The material is bifurcated. The central character is a world-famous blogger. She then abandons the internet to care for a loved one. In deference to social media, the book is written in short bursts, accentuated by the author’s raw, poetic cynicism. The Wall Street crowd may think this bestseller sounds “too fringe.” It is not. The literary experience here takes you from the profane to the deeply moving.
