Book Overview

Un imprescindible de la literatura latinoamericana. Horacio Castellanos Moya es una de las voces m s provocadoras, originales y relevantes de la generaci n de Bola o.

Jos Zeled n, hombre silencioso y hura o, vive atormentado por su violento pasado. Tras huir de El Salvador con una nueva identidad despu s de la guerra civil, ha logrado pasar desapercibido durante a os en Estados Unidos. Ahora debe dejar atr s Texas y empezar de nuevo en Wisconsin, donde un antiguo compa ero de la guerrilla le ha conseguido una habitaci n amueblada en la ciudad universitaria de Merlow City y un trabajo de conductor de autob s escolar.

Su anodina nueva vida se ver alterada al descubrir que otro compatriota salvadore o, el experiodista Erasmo Arag n, ejerce como profesor en el Merlow College mientras busca esclarecer la muerte del poeta revolucionario Roque Dalton.

Castellanos Moya es uno de los autores m s incisivos y singulares de su generaci n y el nico que, seg n Roberto Bola o, ha sabido narrar el horror, el Vietnam secreto que durante mucho tiempo fue Latinoam rica .

Al igual que otros personajes de Moronga, Zeled n y Arag n son supervivientes del horror, seres paranoicos y en permanente estado de alerta. Ambos nos cuentan en primera persona historias en las que asoma su pasado, la guerrilla y el narco, mientras el autor entreteje una intrincada telara a de violencia que atrapa al lector hasta alcanzar un trepidante final en el que todos los caminos se unen.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An essential work in Latin American literature. Horacio Castellanos Moya is one of the most thought provoking, original, and relevant voices of the Bola o generation.

Jos Zeled n, a quiet and shy man, lives tormented by his violent past. After fleeing from El Salvador with a new identity after its civil war, he has managed to go unnoticed for years in the United States. Now he must leave Texas behind and start a new life in Wisconsin. His peaceful new life will be altered when he discovers that another Salvadorian, journalist Erasmo Aragon, is a professor at Merlow College while he works on finding the truth about the revolutionary poet Roque Dalton's death.

Castellanos Moya is one of the most incisive and singular authors of his generation and the only one who, according to Roberto Bola o, has been able to narrate "the horror, the secret Vietnam that was Latin America for a long time".

Zeled n and Arag n are both survivors of the horror; both tell their first-person stories about their past, the guerrilla, and the narcos, while the author weaves an intricate cobweb of violence that soon reach a point where all roads cross.
