Reading Savage Detectives, just on Chapter 9 of Part II, but I haven't really been able to follow Part II yet. Am I supposed to be keeping track of who all these people are? The only anchor I have here is mention of Arturo or Lima, but I'm not really keeping any sense of timeline either.
Should I keep reading, or start Part II over again and try to keep track of everything?
This is the exact problem I had, Part II was so fucking confusing.

The style of Part II is not my problem, I'm just not sure whether to go with or fight against it.
Should I be mapping out characters and relations, or just surfing the sea of Chicos and Phillipes?
Just surf it. It’s all about the individial stories, I felt.

This is what you should focus on. The rest will more or less fall into place. A lot of the characters in chapter two show up again and again, so slowly it will make sense. Just follow Lima and Arturo and you will be fine.
