Creepy Taxidermist Lady and Bodega Dreams

Today I started reading Bodega Dreams. So far, it is mainly about a Puerto Rican guy named Chino living in Spanish Harlem. The timeline of the book is a bit confusing and seems to jump around a lot so I've had some trouble keeping up with what's going on, but I did gather that his best friend strongly resembles a frog. I learned that people who carry switchblades get the most respectable nicknames. Also, I learned from a video we watched about a taxidermist named Amy that it takes 20-30 minutes to fully skin a grey fox. Oh and she names the animals she skins and stuffs after guys she likes. Hmm.

  1. Good post Mia. I like how you wrote it. I would like to hear your opinion about the book and if you can relate it to anything. Good work.

  2. I wonder if that girl is into beastiliaty... She has probably sewn together some sort of animal costume for her hubby and then ritually skins him as some sort of erotic foreplay.
