I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the status of the contest (mentioned here and here).
As you may know, voting ended last night. The POM website (link above) says that winners will be announced Wednesday, February 20th at 9PM EST. If I hear anything before then, I’ll let you know. All I can say now is that I think our video is certainly competitive for the #1 spot, but I don’t want to jinx anything, so more on that later.
In the meantime, keep your fingers crossed!
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 is broken up into five parts which, while connected, stand pretty much on there own. I have not yet made it to the grim part about the murders of hundreds of women in Mexico, so I have so far found it enjoyable and even funny despite some dark underpinnings. 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.
