Product information for Argentinean Literature Thanks (Paperback)
With a twisted sense of humor and a heavy dose of fantasy Katchadjian takes those things that are so common as to be ordinary-bad bosses crazy significant others descent into drug use-and sets them in a realm that brings to mind Kafka or Kojève. Our narrator presents us with a constantly moving array of bizarre philosophically tinged excitement: a slave rebellion in a strange castle on an unnamed island an attack of flying worms made of ash which either represents Adam s sin or the Oedipal complex a feral young woman who lives off the grid on whatever she can scrounge and a hallucinatory root that throws the narrator into a black void which he comes to fear he may never escape.
