so-soThis is a satirical portrait of what seems to be #Colombia, a country tormented by coca lords and an incapable government. Señor Vivo is very critical of drugs lord Pablo Ecobandodo, who in turns wants him dead. By luck, naivity and magical realism, Vivo manages to survive each attempt on his life. People believe he is a kind of savior and start following him.
A so-so read. Obviously no García Márquez.

Ruthiella Interesting! I was gonna go with Florida for this category. So US-centric of me! I so could expand that! 13mo
Cinfhen Interesting…I can‘t remember if I read my #Colombia book yet 🤷🏼♀️ 13mo
BarbaraBB @Ruthiella Lol I would never think of the US for Sunshine noir, but maybe that‘s exactly what the prompt means.. I was thinking of the southern hemisphere 🤷🏻♀️ 13mo
Librarybelle Lots of challenges covered! 13mo
