Status Updates From Il gioco del mondo: Rayuela

I’m liking this book more with these added chapters.

I’m at the point where the book wants you to read the extra chapters in the back but in a particular order that includes rereading the earlier stuff. So I’m skimming what I’ve already read while flipping back and forth to the new stuff at the back.

This last chapter was so absurd. The book has basically no plot and is just creating ridiculous scenes.

The female lead’s name is Maga. She didn’t realize how sick her infant was and though the male lead had an idea of the severity of the child’s condition, he went out to watch a crappy piano premiere. When he got back the infant was dead and the lady thought it had gone to sleep. All of her friends are over when she realized what had actually happened.
