Ch1) is kind of sad. I feel like the author has like this journalistic quality to his writing that is a lot softer than Marquez journalistic style in “in love & other demons” and “memories of my melancholy whores.” It’s very interesting. The author was writing at the same time Marquez was about to take off in his career. I wonder if he ever read this novel. Theres also hñahñu in this book. Very regional

Ch1) introduces the daily routine of people in region at the time it was written. It’s very interesting. I feel like sad knowing that families were separated and kids were sent to som sort of boarding schools? I never knew this history. It’s also very closely set to my mom’s community in Ixmiquilpan. I started this book with some bias but my hñahñu teacher said it was very accurate portrayal.
