Struggling a bit with Os Cus de Judas. I should have finished it by now really, but it’s non-linear, dense, grammatically complicated and has very long sentences full of very fancy, unfamiliar words. On top of that, the cultural references fly right over my head, obviously, since he’s writing about a time when I was about 4 years old.
I’ve taken to reading it on a tablet which is easier since I can use the onboard dictionary and save a lot of tedious page flipping business. I can even have it read to me in a passable robot voice, which helps me sustain the momentum.
Of course not all the words are in its dictionary. Vitaphor isn’t capitalised but I believe it’s a kind of medicinal tonic drink… Maybe…
