#VanishingBodies
review

Hadriana in All My Dreams | René Depestre

Pickpick

This was my #FoodAndLit pick for #Haiti

While I enjoyed it, there was less about Haitian zombies than I expected from this book. About a third through, Hadriana was still alive and it was mostly superstition about a horny butterfly deflowering all the girls! But it was still an interesting if odd read.

Side note: there‘s lots of references to sex with many names for genitals. My favourite (female) was ripe almond 😂

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I totally agree with your assessment. I wanted more zombies and less genital euphemisms. A strange but interesting little book. 1y
