The Motive - 2017

The Motive - 2017 - 6/10
AKA - El Autor

 
Álvaro has literary aspirations.
Not getting published in some ezine, not landing a bestseller.  No.  LITERATURE, full stop.
But, he doesn’t really have the talent, or ideas, or rich memories to mine from.
Instead, he begins observing neighbors in his apartment, then manipulates them.
Character study of a classic meddler, and not the sanctimonious or well-intentioned sort.
Far more absorbing than the typical “writer” plot, as this guy is a real piece of work.
At times infuriating, always uncomfortable.
