Nothing compares with the feeling of learning a new language and reading your first novel in it, feeling that a new faucet of yourself is being created with every sentence you read.
It’s this novel and not another one because I picked it up for $1 at the university bookstore and the language is very clear, so I can read it with not a lot of effort.
After years of accusations that my Spanish and English are too Germanic, I have finally embraced the charge and am becoming a speaker of German.
