Ig all coming of age fiction is like this bur it's like Catcher in the Rye without the irony
#logxx#Like the specific tragedy of Catcher in the Rye is that the protag's worldview is obviously unsustainable#And that's why the only way he can actually articulate it is through self destruction#While the thing that's supposed to make the narrator interesting is the extent to which he's deluding himself#In a specifically Teenager way#And his belief that he's morally / intellectually superior to everyone around him is really an articulation of his isolation#Due to being socially inept / past trauma / whatever#W Mexican Daughter it's just like . Completely played straight#But the racial aspect of the story makes the whole thing just deeply deeply racist and condescending#Rather than simply superficial
