Whoa. What a twisty, bizarre, powerful book. Ondjaki has serious literary teeth. It started strong and got better as it went. #Angola #readaroundtheworld #readharder

charl08 Sounds good! 5y

bromeliad @charl08 I definitely thought so! I've never read anything quite like it! 5y

Transparent City | Ondjaki

I see descriptions like this often enough that it's got me thinking about starting up a literary cooking hobby... 🤔

Andrea4 When I was, say, 13 or so, I thought it was cool to try the foods or snacks I read about it books. Pretzels and mustard were a hit! Molasses in warmed milk was decidedly NOT. 🤣 5y

bromeliad @Andrea4 😂 classic! 5y

Andrea4 @bromeliad I didn't even like milk so why did I think I'd like molasses in it...especially when I didn't like those Halloween molasses candies!!?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 5y

bailed

I read half of this, and while there were things I admired, I felt no strong emotions about any of the characters. So I have decided not to continue. I will try another, later novel by the same writer some day.
