This novel was published after the Chilean-Mexican author's death, and I'm not even sure if it was entirely finished or not.

It's had a ton of critical praise, and I like it much more than my last foray into the violent novel genre: Blood Meridian.
Been listening to this one a lot, pretty much the whole way through.
