Rendición / Surrender (Spanish Edition) by Ray Loriga

Le puse tres estrellas a esta novela porque es ágil y entretenida. Sin embargo, habiendo leído 1984 de George Orwell y Brave New World (Un Mundo Feliz) de Aldous Huxley no me resultó muy original. La presencia del niño Julio me recordó también “Jesús Chilhood” de JM Coetzee. Recomiendo esta obra al que le gusta este tipo de lectura y no espera nada que lo sorprenda demasiado.

Tokyo Doesn't Love Us Anymore by Ray Loriga

An unnamed man travels the globe selling a mind-wiping drug to people who need to forget unpleasant experiences. Cult Spanish author Loriga takes us on a journey filled with sex, drugs and rambling nihilism. Reads like Houellebecq, but without the sense of humour.
