I feel like I am just scratching the surface on Antagony, but it is just blowing me away.

How this novel hasn't been translated earlier is a huge disservice to the English speaking world. I need to work on my Spanish to read his untranslated works.

If you are a fan of Proust, Joyce or Gaddis you will love Luis Goytisolo.

Finished Antagony Book II: The Greens of May Down to the Sea. It is taking me a while to get through it but I still love it. Just a wonderful book.

"A direct experience of reality, immediate, tangible, epidermic, life on the jagged edge, raw naked life-"
