Which Reminds Me

Yes, I see no reason for me to wade through all of this dense literary verbiage, beyond noting the title of the book, that is to say: "Utopia Undone: The Fall of Uruguay in the Novels of Carlos Martinez Moreno." Sometimes it is better to leave the books on the shelves unopened without delving into their dreary contents. My brain does not want to absorb even that. 

Coincidentally, my late grandfather had something to say about St. Thomas More, who was the author of "Utopia," but I doubt there would have been much correspondence between our More and Kenton's fallen Utopia of the Uruguayan variety. More's book "Utopia," is still considered a classic even if somewhat controversial, but anyway, these Spanish authors are not well known in Engliish and/or American/English circles so it is hard for us to say much about them and the dreary grooves of dismal thoughts that may be reflected there.
