#ConflictedWorlds Day 18: #PersonVsAddiction is the theme in this unforgettable novel by Benjamin Alire Saenz. I had the privilege of interviewing him live/face-to-face as part of the White Ravens Festival in Munich back in 2017. My review of this book here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7KH

Book 147
Last Night I Sang to the Monster is a stream-of- consciousness book written from the perspective of a 17 year-old boy in rehab. His story is depressing but hope and beauty emanate through the relationships he forms. The writing is more messy than cerebral. The ill-defined monster metaphor and amateur poetry highlight the dissatisfied potential. If this had been my first book by Benjamin Alire Saenz, I think it may have also been my last.

#OctoberXFiles Day 10: This powerful, searing #MonsterMash of a novel makes one reflect on madmen, empty hearts, the monsters in books and those that find homes in people‘s hearts – fed by alcohol, drugs, anger, and the variety of things that allow the monsters to grow and flourish. I find this to be even better than Saenz‘s Ari and Dante. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7KH

"I only want to believe it if it is true."
"We won't ever know, Zach. Can I tell you a secret? Sometimes, Zach, all we have is what we make up."

Everyone always talks about Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, but this is my favorite by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. #LatinxAuthors #FeistyFeb
