Paperback. Como se explica lo latinoamericano? Que significa ser del Uruguay? Con imaginacion desbordante y ojo agudo, Diego Recoba intenta una respuesta. Sera que la identidad no es mas que una telarana kilometrica de hilos enredados? -Nona Fernandez Como una constelacion que se expande y ramifica, Diego Recoba compone una novela hibrida, documentada y delirante que por momentos es, tambien, un ensayo sobre arte y politica. La trama esta tejida por un narrador que no solo intenta construir la complejidad de su arbol genealogico y la historia cartografica de su barrio, Nuevo Paris, sino tambien la descendencia de comunidades olvidadas, asi como la identidad de una escritora uruguaya inclasificable que unio, como nadie, arte y vida. Quien es realmente Mirtha / Martha Passeggi, la escritora cuya vida secreta obsesiona al narrador de esta historia? Esa es la pregunta que atraviesa esta novela salvaje y rabiosa, que el autor construye con una libertad admirable, con el talento de los que siguen creyendo que las palabras pueden cambiarnos la vida. -Diego ZunigaENGLISH DESCRIPTIONHow can the essence of Latin America be explained? What does it mean to be Uruguayan? Diego Recoba tries to answer these questions, drawing on his keen imagination and powers of observation. Is identity nothing more than a vast spiderweb of connecting threads? -Nona Fernandez Like a constellation that branches and expands, this is a hybrid, well-sourced and exciting novel that at times reads like an essay on art and politics. The plot is driven by a narrator who tries to trace his complex genealogical tree and the geographical history of Nuevo Paris, the Montevideo neighborhood where he lives. Along the way, he explores the legacy of forgotten communities and the identity of an uncategorizable Uruguayan author who epitomized the crossover of life into art. Who really is Mirtha / Martha Passeggi, the author whose secret life the narrator is so obsessed with? Thats the question that runs through this wild and idiosyncratic novel with which the author has taken commendable liberties, demonstrating the talent of one who still believes that words can change our lives. -Diego Zuniga Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
