Status Updates From La luz del norte

So far this is genuinely the dullest thing I’ve read in some time and believe me I have read some absolutely dull stuff. Every two maybe three paragraphs of story is followed by two maybe three PAGES of backstory on this guy. WE GET IT the economy went bust and he lost his job and divorced his wife. Ever heard of show not tell? I pray this goes somewhere - and FAST - because I’m bored out of my mind right now.
