Call me Travis Scott because I’m the “highest in the room”

Trigger warning: Mentions of Sexual Exploitation and Crime Art work by Kristina Timofeeva Did you see what I did with the title 😏 ????? Cause the book had talk of drugs and the experience of reading it was…well..almost a surreal high?????? No, just me? ok… Money is just the same as drugs: what’s fundamental is […]

Piglia; To quote Abba, “money, money, money”

Where to even begin on this whirlwind of a novel. Ricardo Piglia’s Money to Burn was genuinely one of my favourite reads of the course thus far. I think this has to do with the writing style in part because … Continue reading →

Why is everyone taking it up the arse? – Money to burn by Piglia

No genuinely why is everyone, man or woman taking it up the ass. Money to Burn by Piglia is a book that I honestly did not like until they got to the shoot out/ when they were stuck in flat number 9. Then the book became clear to me about what it was attempting to …

Money to burn

I really wanted to like this book, but I did not. In fact, I hated it. First of all, why were there so many nicknames?! I may be the only one who feels this way but I kept getting so confused with the amount of nicknames the characters had.  And the never ending chapters, it […]

Money to Burn – My First Rant

I absolutely did not like Money to Burn by Ricardo Piglia at all. It started off very promising with an exciting start, quickly jumping into action. Although, as the book continued, and I learned more about the characters, I just began to loathe it. I am not a ranting type of person but this book […]

Money to Burn – Criminality and Justice

Among all the novels that I have read so far, “Money to Burn” is definitely unique in the sense that its narrative style is not constrained to one single genre. Though I know that the novel is based on a true event that happened in Argentina, I find the constant switching of narration interesting; I […]

Money to Burn-Ricardo Piglia

First of all, I must admit that this is a genre of novels I am not particularly interested in, those about robbery, crime, and the like. So, before reading this book, I had already formed my opinion about it. After finishing it, I feel that although it is not much different from what I expected, […]

Ricardo Piglia, “Money to Burn”

Ricardo Piglia’s novel, “Money to Burn,” is a refreshing change of literature that follows the escape route of a group of criminals as they speed to escape from Buenos Aires to Uruguay with the police tight on their heels. This book offered a different reading experience compared to the other readings in this course, it […]

Money to Burn (not my favourite…)

This week’s reading of “Money to Burn” was certainly an interesting one. I can’t say I loved reading it. I personally would not classify this as a thriller, for the scariest part was how vulgar and gross the men were. It was not enjoyable to read because of their disgusting sex lives and their views […]
