The Cardboard House is a tenuously-linked series of vignettes where the author recalls his life in Peru as a child. There is virtually no narrative structure to this novel, and the characters are very lightly drawn. Adan is far more interested in draping his characters in gorgeous and flowery descriptions than he is in giving them any real depth or having them do anything of note.
The overall effect is of a shower of florid prose which is at times simply ridiculous, affected, prolix and in love with its own cleverness. It was tedious and I couldn't wait to finish it.
