#FinishedReading this awesomely odd collection of short stories by Argentinian author #SamantaSchweblin , translated by #MeganMcDowell . The stories are very short and unfold in dreamlike fashion and often deadpan humour, with deep undercurrents of unease, violence, and symbolism. #Bookstodon @bookstodon

If you pound a person's head against concrete - even if you're doing it only so they'll come to their senses - you will very likely end up hurting them. This is something my mother explained to me early on, the day I pounded Fredo's head on the asphalt of the school playground.
