It suffers from a deep-rooted social rot. It's like the pre-flood world, some things are so fundamentally broken that God just hit the reset button because they couldn't be fixed.
Except here there's no divine reset. We're dealing with generations of institutional failure, total impunity, and a cartels-first economy. It's going to take generations to dig out of it, if ever.

Have you read 2666? The shit that went down in Juarez is insane. I was reading about how more deaths are due to murder now than to actual health related causes. WTF.

I started reading House of Spirits some weeks ago (coincidentally by a Chilean writer) but I have like 3-4 books I started and trying to read at the same time. I'm also reading Pedro Paramo now.
