Granta en español 11: Los mejores narradores jovenes en español
The Knife of Never Letting Go
"The first thing you find out when yer dog learns to talk is that dogs don't got nothing much to say. About anything.'Need a poo, Todd.'
'Shut up, Manchee.'
'Poo. Poo, Todd.'
'I said shut it.'"
How about them opening lines?
I kind of want to give this five stars, because Todd's voice and the world he inhabits sink their claws into you and drag you along through the almost-500 pages of this book relentlessly. The narration is so detailed and suspenseful that I kept having to stop my eyes from skipping down the page. But it wasn't quite life-changing, so I will reserve my five stars for that.
Reread: August 2015
Emotionally brutal, still.
