Con esta luna
Casi todas las madrugadas Moreira se instala a estudiar en el bar Cordoba como un modo de exorcizar el insomnio y la soledad. Poco a poco se ha ido integrando a esa especie de familia conformada, mayormente por taxistas, que incluye a los pibes del kiosco y a los trapitos de la cuadra. Pero un hecho extraño y la desaparición de uno de los choferes colocan a Moreira y a sus amigos en la senda de una pesquisa en la que pondrán en juego las creencias e hipótesis mas increíbles asi como sus propias vidas

this one didn't do me too many favors, it wasn't mind-blowingly amazing, kinda mid to be honest. there was a lot of underlying social and political themes at play but i feel like they weren't really brought into the spotlight. i liked that there was a broad cast of characters but they also kind of felt shallow!
in terms of plot, it really didn't start picking up until i was significantly into the book itself and it wasn't driving me forward, which i expect out of a mystery book. the style of writing was nowhere near juicy enough for my tastes, it was kind of dry and hazy. the relationships between characters were a little too undefined and hindered the clarity of the plot structure. what i DID like about this book were the cinematic little pockets of time: the crowded bar anticipating the outcome of a government election, the ambiguity of a friends with benefits relationship, nighttime lovers sharing their visions with each other, friends watching famous movies at a bar together. while these gave the novel some breathing room they didn't feel too connected to the major plotline. ultimately the stakes didn't feel high enough to me and it was hard to connect to the characters outside of these gentle moments they had.
ultimately i'm gonna say it's safe to skip this one, maybe a little more cohesive or redeemable if you understand the politics its built on but too nebulous otherwise. <3

Aprovechando que solamente una persona ha dejado su review, vengo a escribir brevemente la mía.
Llegué a este libro por recomendación de una amiga cuyo docente de escritura fue ni más ni menos que Guerrieri. Ambas somos del barrio de Villa Urquiza y hemos crecido en sus alrededores yendo y viniendo, además, frecuento muchísimo la zona de la famosa Plaza los Galgos así que fue un disfrute pleno poner verme a mí a medida que iba leyendo las páginas de este libro.
Una trama atrapante que tiene un poco de todo, desde reflexiones sobre el cotidiano, sobre el amor y la sexualidad y la historia de uno.
Se lee rápido porque más allá de estar escrito de forma llevadera, la historia te lleva a querer dar con la verdadera respuesta del conflicto que comienza ni bien arranca el libro: la desaparición del Jorobado.
Lo recomiendo absolutamente.

Al principio me pareció todo tan porteño que me picaban los ojos, después la trama se entiende y se pone interesante, interesantísimo. Hipnótico
