thrilling.... just thrilling...

Pandora in the Congo
Albert Sánchez Piñol

What a ride! A romp in the jungle with a writerly wink. Twists, turns, gasp inducing elucidations.... I still don't know what hit me - but I know this was a 10 out of 10 and I can't wait to forget what happened so I can read it again. Indiana Jones on safari and speed.

Brilliant book - one of those books that you can read for the adventure of it, but also read for the subtext and metaphors that I'm sure are way over my head. A trip through the Congo, but really, a commentary about the great empire of Great Britain.
