About This Item

Monterrey, Mexico: Ediciones Castillo, S.A. De C.V., 1997. BC5 - A tight, clean, sound copy in color wraps with minor overall shelf wear with a heavy clear plastic lamination applied to the covers plus there are the usual library stamps and label on the top outside paper edges, the front endpaper/half title page, and title page. A Spanish language novel by a noted contemporary Mexican writer. Esta novela es un peligro. Cumple con lo que proponía Cioran: "Un libro debe hurgar en las heridas, provocarlas incluso. "Sus hojas pueden sentirse como si fuesen de afeitar; se recomienda precaución en su manejo. El mundo de "Obra Negrra" secuede en el lado oscuro de la vida; explora la otra naturaleza, y su personaje central - Fabián Isunza - un aforista contumaz e irreverente, encuentra en el Mal atmósferas respirables. Pero paradójicamente, los caminos que pisa son los mismos por donde transita el Bien. Muy pronto descubre que la vehemencia con la que las sociedades suelen enaltecer sus propios valores morales sólo se compara con la brutalidad con que ellas mismas los pisotean y mascaran. Isunza no sólo sacude la maciza construcción tras la que se agazapan los prejuicios sexuales; arremete también contra la religión, el amor, algunas ideas acerca de Dios, el poder, la familia. Parece asomarse al mundo en el momento mismo de su durrumbamiento. La estructura narrativa de "Obra Negra" permite y azuza, las conversaciones no siempre amistosas, con otros grandes autores que han frecuentado las fascinantes territorios oscuros y a quienes se une en el descuartizamiento del cuerpo del discurso único para luego asirse al fragmento de sus preferencias sobre el cual fundan, como cada uno de nosotros, su propía "Obra Negra." La utopía es un cristal roto con el que podría cortarse las venas, pero ningún drama se hubiera escenificado si Fabián Isunza no hubiera sido cegado por el terrible relámpago del amor. A partir de esa experiencia brutal, su vida fue arrastrada por el aliento de las grandes tragedias. 317p.. Trade Paperback. Good/No Jacket as Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Ex-Library.
