| Sentimentality as artis the only thing such a violent culture can manage because to tell the truth about the continent requires originality, courage and talent.
It's like watching Asian films that are grotesquely violent and whenever there is dialogue, all the characters are built upon cheap sentimentality instead of the three dimensionality that people really have because brutal people are one dimensional.

| Flowery prose based in wishful loopy romanticized fantasies of a land of genocidal slave trader who now supply the world's cocaine....and not a word written to portray reality.
Jose Donoso is the real writer. Real artists don't do art that makes a criminal and fake elite proud, happy and comfortable.

| "He allowed himself to be swayed by his conviction that human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers gave birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves."
