Ya he leído <em>Las batallas en el desierto</em> pero gracias por la recomendación de <em>Agua quemada</em>. ¡Un saludo!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-1348264040321656992014-03-31T23:54:45.735-04:002014-03-31T23:54:45.735-04:00Hola, Richard.

Si te interesan las descripciones de la Ciudad de México, te recomiendo <i>Agua quemada</i> de Carlos Fuentes, y también <i>Las batallas en el desierto</i> de José Emilio Pacheco (la ciudad en los años 40). ¡Saludos!Martín C.http://www.elpezvolador.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-21644559161869630502014-03-30T00:56:36.865-04:002014-03-30T00:56:36.865-04:00Fortunately or unfortunately, Miguel, the plot was...Fortunately or unfortunately, Miguel, the plot was formulaic enough that these crimes didn't bother me as much as the ones depicted in <em>2666</em>. But I did feel a little wary about that at first! I also enjoyed Taibo's descriptive writing and the energy and pace of the novel overall, which probably helped as well.<br /><br />P.S. "DF" is just the Mexican Spanish abbreviation for "Distrito Federal" or Mexico City. I'm not sure how commonly the abbreviation is used in other countries, which is something I maybe should have kept in mind.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-90009520998213317452014-03-29T19:51:34.146-04:002014-03-29T19:51:34.146-04:00So after 2666 you're still not fed up with Mex...So after 2666 you're still not fed up with Mexican murders? I keep telling myself I need to read a good crime novel again, but they're so hard to come by.<br /><br />What's DF by the way?LMRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08538873868140070018noreply@blogger.com
