...aunque no recomiendo bañarse en el mar, por los desechos industriales, ¡pero hay mucho trabajo en los pozos de extracción!
"Eso es importante... el trabajo nos hace mejores nuevomexicanos," repitió en automático. Es algo que nos decían en la escuela.

The audiobook narrator, Roberto Villavicencio, is so talented and hilarious with all his little voices. Not all of them are enjoyable to listen to, but he brings the key characters to life so well.... ugh I need someone to talk about this book with! So many parallels... so much irony. The author is witty, clever, and funny! Very enjoyable listen to break up some of the more intense historical reads.

Reading (listening to) this for a second time nearly 2 years later with a much more robust understanding of not only the Spanish language in general but the themes and issues surrounding the book, beginning with the Porfiriato. This author is so damn clever and his books are filled with so many mexicanisms... it is a true pleasure to read his work. Ojalá pudiera expresarme así en español para hablar del libro, nimodo
