Israel Centeno

An original and passionate novel exploring adolescence and a little-known moment in Latin American history, this work employs a peculiar linguistic style, poetic but visceral, to tell us a familiar story about sex, hatred, and alienation that inscribes itself in the saga of brilliant short novels that Latin American literature has come to offer us during this past century. The voices of the main characters echo long after the story s conclusion, and their jumbled lives, between the country and the city, between ravines and the more bohemian neighborhoods in Paris, adjust themselves like the perfect puzzle pieces of a vigorous and acidic chronicle of the second half of the twentieth century.Una original y apasionante indagacion novelistica en el universo de la adolescencia y en un momento poco conocido de la historia de America Latina, esta obra emplea un lenguaje particular, poetico pero tambien desgarrado, para contarnos una historia familiar de sexo, odio y extraneza que se inscribe en la gran saga de brillantes novelas cortas que ha ofrecido la literatura latinoamericana durante el ultimo siglo. Las voces de los principales personajes de este libro resuenan mucho tiempo despues de acabar la lectura dentro de nosotros, y sus confusas vidas, entre el mundo rural y la ciudad, entre las quebradas y los barrios mas bohemios de Paris, se ajustan como piezas perfectas de una cronica vigorosa y acida de la segunda mitad del siglo XX.
