KCG has approached me to read the audiobook version of his novel, so that would depend entirely on your appetite to listen to that particular book.

Can I just clarify how a person reads an audio book? Surely, they belong in "what are you listening to?"

Took a couple of pulls of the starter cord by Toonpack but the FUCKING SHITE PUN ENGINE has rattled back to life. 

Just because you’ve never seen the dyslexic-friendly version of Wart Ars’s, doesn’t mean you’ve got be up in our face and angry, like Rev. Haddart.

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez 

 

 

Wow 

 

That’s it. That’s the review 😆

 

The only book I can compare it to is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S Thompson, just for its sprawling, virtually gonzo style..  it’s nothing like F&LILV but that’s the only other book that’s made me feel stoned whilst reading it. I don’t read read a lot of grown up fiction but this was fucking phenomenal ☺️

The Armies by Evelio Rosero is a good read if you like that Colombian magical realism style like the above

I think I have good news for you…. It’ll be subtitled as Marquez refused to sell the rights because he knew any adaptation would be in English. I think his son has done the deal and tbf to Netflix they’ve accepted the original terms…from this it looks great, from Dec 11 as far as I can make out, not sure if that’s UK
