Description
A direct narration lacking in embellishments reviews the adolescence of this novel's protagonists: parties, music, impossible loves, and friendship as well as enmity. After a group of youngsters chance across a shipment of cocaine, their lives are changed forever. An homage to the broken connection between existence and reason, between the illusionary past and the present that must be accepted as the only real basis of everyday life, this novel offers a wide view of the world while still involving readers in the intimate lives of five characters whose successes and failures are masterfully woven into a knot. Una narración directa y sin barroquismos repasa la adolescencia de los protagonistas de esta novela: las fiestas, la música, los amores imposibles, la amistad y su reverso. Luego de que unos jóvenes, por azar, encuentran un cargamento de cocaína, sus vidas cambian para siempre. Un homenaje a la alianza rota entre la existencia y el sentido, entre el pasado ilusorio y el presente que debe ser aceptado como única base real de la vida cotidiana, esta novela ofrece una imagen total del mundo a la vez que involucra al lector en la vida íntima de cinco personajes cuyos hitos y fracasos están magistralmente hilvanados en un nudo.
