Reddit y Maximalist Novels

Nos hemos estrenado en Reddit, a la búsqueda de Maximalist Novels. Después de la lectura de ‘Solenoide’ de Mircea Cartarescu (tras el que tengo pendiente la búsqueda de un atlas de parasitología).

I think they have to be:

• *Long.

• *Reveal another universe in detail.

• *Paper and pen to analyze what’s going on.

• *Quality.

• *Postmodernism.
