Roque Larraquy National Telepathy Paperback Book

In September 1933, the Peruvian Rubber Company delivers nineteen indigenous people from the Amazon to businessman Amado Dam, intended for Argentinas first Ethnographic Theme Park. Unexpected among the human cargo is an artefact harbouring a sloth with a fascinating yet terrifying secret the ability to create erotically explosive telepathic connections between people. What ensues is a raucous satire of mens fear of womens bodies, of the illusion of logic in the structures of socalled civilisation, and the way class and race obscure identities when the observer is a man with power. In The National Telepathy , Roque Larraquy, one of the most original voices in contemporary Argentinian literature, brings us a literary highwire act, an overthetop comic grotesque about atrocity. This shocking, bizarre, funny, imaginative novel lays alltoobare the secret longings and notsosecret machinations of a social class that will stop at nothing in order to stay on top. | Roque Larraquy National Telepathy Paperback Book
