Boring Intro: I have not read Enrigue before. In the blurbs that fill the front and back of this book, he is compared to the Chilean Roberto Bolaño. Sudden Death has a global(Spain, Italy, Mexico) and historical (the conquest of Mexico, the Counter-Reformation, modern day) reach with snaking and intertwined narrative lines, all of which evince much erudition and research, which Enrigue addresses in a few meta-textual chapters.
