Recensioni
At the library, when I borrowed 'Down the Rabbit Hole' (Fiesta en la madriguera), I imagined I was going to read about the hardships of the Aztec people, such as the bloody aspect of the practice of human sacrifice. The story is written in the first person. It is easy to see that there are no influences from the thoughts of other authors.
The story is very far removed from the 500 years that separate the Aztec population from modern Mexican culture. The tale is very well-crafted. Juan Pablo Villalobos is persistent and repetitive with certain terms, pushing the limits of what is possible for a coherent understanding. Nonetheless, he managed the development and execution of this short novel in an entertaining way.
