I'm reading this novel for my Spanish course, and I find its use of language kind of confusing at times. I have to go slowly and parse out sentences phrase by phrase until things make sense, or sometimes auto-translate confusing phrases to figure out what was actually being expressed. For example, this passage tripped me up initially:

>Meditando en mi cuarto, creí adivinar la causa del sufrimiento de María. Recordé la manera cómo yo había salido del salón después de mi llegada y cómo la impresión que me hizo el acento confidencial de ella fue motivo de que le contestara con la falta de tino propia de quien está reprimiendo una emoción.

Do any Latinxes actually talk or write like this in real-life, or is this just pure literary flourish?
