Sergi has too much knowledge, has too many facts rolling off the tip of his tongue, although he tries to keep a handle on it, the facts take over the fiction. Reads as if he were following the pattern set by La sombra del viento. So much prefer his journalism. Prose is clunky and predictable. And if I see one more ellipsis I'm going to spit. Biography of a character in 1920's Spain. Costumbrista atope.
