Honestly I have very little to say about this one, which is a feat in and of itself.
Basically, make Frankenstein's monster into an American-born Latino person/mixed race white-Latino person and then replace "Mexicans" with "Stitchers" during Trump presidency era (but rename Trump and make him a woman).
That's it. The end. I dunno. The writing is dry, repetitive (exact repetitions of reoccurring events that . . . just don't hit), and the MC feels very ritualistic OCD coded (knocking 3 times, jogging start, repeating himself). Not my fave, even though it properly gives its dues to pan dulce.
