Notes of a Crocodile

Complessità dei personaggi

Great quality hardcopy

I had heard great things about this novel, so perhaps I came to it with expectations that were too high. I certainly enjoyed it, but was not wowed by it. It's geared towards young adults in terms of tone and themes, and I suspect that had I been a few decades younger when read it I would have got a lot more out of it.

Irrefutable indicator of what I think of Taiwanese Qiu Miaojin’s Notes of a Crocodile: I just bought her subsequent book, Last Words from Montmartre, that she finished just before committing suicide at 26-years-old. Qiu’s Crocodile is a unique read, written by a perceptive young woman who was frank about her preferring women for intimate love, no news there, but she was setting that forth before it was okay. She was the first. Qui has a consummately brilliant mind. Her anguish comes through to where you can see that a suicide is upcoming. She will generate a few laughs and you will also learn from her. She’s earned high respect in Taiwan. I’ve discovered that books by Asian and Asian-American women – well, always outstanding reads; I’m almost overwhelmed by too many unread books, but I just ordered another of that genre, one by Cora Zeng.(Bat Eater).

Buena historia; respecto al libro me fascinó la portada y las hojas, son de color un poco amarillento, suaves y resistentes, sin duda un gran formato, recomiendo
