Greek Lessons

Una carta de amor al lenguaje y a la poesía.

Si te gusta el estilo de literatura con harta poesía, harta descripción de lo que sienten y recuerdan los personajes, este libro te va a gustar.
Si quieres una historia clara que tenga un conflicto, desarrollo y climax claros, esta historia te va a confundir mucho, es más del tipo contemplativa.
No tiene la misma forma de escritura que “La Vegetariana”

Me gustó mucho las vibras que transmitía, es un libro de ritmo lento, te hace apreciar cada detalla de la cotidianidad, y eso me gusta, me gusta que sea descriptivo y como se expresan las emociones de los protagonistas, no me gustó tanto el final lamentablemente.

Hasta la segunda mitad, la narrativa fluía bien, pero luego la autora cambió de la prosa al verso. Se produjeron saltos temporales que me crearon cierta sensación de caos.

Actually 3.75, but not quite a 4 stars.
Han Kang writes beautifully as ever, and language, which is everything to this novel, has always been very important to me.
And perhaps it's exactly because of this, because I was already sold on the idea that language truly is the matter constituting our whole world, that I didn't enjoy this book as much as I should have.

Surprisingly, I really didn't vibe with the writing style. It's beautiful but there was something slightly off about it and I really struggled to keep up with what happened to whom when until I just stop really caring. No rating.

Rating: 3.5 stars

3.5?
I really enjoy how immersive Han Kang's writing gets although the plot and storyline of this particular book were a bit hard to get into.
