Too good writing and unwelcome Spanish #substack #shorts
In this brief YouTube short, the speaker delivers a candid, opinionated take on two recent reads. He opens by disparaging a female character in a work, noting that his recent divorce from a similar personality makes him unwilling to linger on her. He then shifts to praise the author known as "Box," claiming the writer’s prose is exceptionally strong—so strong that it becomes a warning, as readers might become overly enamored. Finally, he references Don Winslow’s novel The Power of the Dog, admitting he could not finish it because the narrative pushes him toward learning Spanish, which he finds off‑putting. Throughout, the tone is informal, critical, and conversational, blending personal grievance with literary recommendation and frustration.
