A Book Like No Other
Revisado: 07-04-23
What a truly remarkable work of literature.
Mystical, poignant, unusual.
One man’s quest— or is it two? Powerful descriptions of the Mongolian landscape, culture, religion and history — ancient and modern.
Did I understand exactly what was happening, or even who all the characters were? No, not even close. Usually that would annoy me. I was often confused, like “ when did that happen.?”Yet I was simply pulled along by the tide of this novel that reads at times like a biography or coming of age. and I suspect we were not meant to understand everything .
As a practicing Buddhist I loved the interweaving of Buddhist thought as the main character struggles with it. The pithy and occasionally funny chapter titles (e.g. “ We are All on Facebook”.) Splendid narration.
Yeah. This novel has moved me and affected my own spiritual practice. I found it grounding.
One of few books I would listen to again — or read.

Historia
Nineteen-year-old Nayeli works at a taco shop in her Mexican village and dreams about her father, who journeyed to the US to find work. Recently it has dawned on her that he isn't the only man who has left town. In fact there are almost no men in the village - they've all gone north. While watching The Magnificent Seven, Nayeli decides to go north herself and recruit seven men - her own "Siete Magníficos" - to repopulate her hometown and protect it from the bandidos who plan on taking it over.
