An undiscovered modern Argentinian classic, based on the tragic lives of the renowned Ra?l Bar?n Biza (a wealthy politician and notorious writer) and his wife Rosa Clotilde Sabattini A marvel. A provocative, meticulous novel thats both utterly repulsive and morbidly fascinating. Elegant prose. An emotionally (and physically) harrowing account of isolation, violence, and hypocrisy. A cult masterpiece. The author has been compared to Joyce and Proust. Grips and perturbs the reader simultaneously. A great novel. A sublime explosion that results from an unpredictable art. An Argentinian masterpiece.
