«Se lee casi compulsivamente. [Su] gran hallazgo es el cuidado e ingenieril manejo que hace de los puntos de vista . - Carlos Sanzol, La Nación
Julia escucha en un bar a una vieja que la abordó en la calle y dice ser su abuela. Siempre tuvo dudas sobre su propio origen, y Griselda ahora le revela su verdadera historia. Muy pronto entenderá que detrás de esa apacible anciana hay más de lo que dice. Los lectores, con ella, empezarán una inmersión sin pausa en un territorio de horror multiforme que, en la repetición de la tortura y la muerte, replica los gestos sangrientos de la dictadura militar argentina. Una trama labrada con excelencia que repasa los años sesenta y setenta con los recursos del terror y del gore y que deslumbra con su maestría y agudeza.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
It is an almost compulsive read. [His] great discovery is the careful and engineering handling he does of all points of view. --Carlos Sanzol, La Nación
Julia is listening to an old woman in a bar. She approached her on the street and claimed to be her grandmother. Julia always had doubts about her origins, and now Griselda reveals her true story. Very soon she will understand that behind that quiet old lady there is more than meets the eye. And the readers along with her will make a steady dive into a multiform horror territory in which, by repeated torture and death, we see the bloody gestures of the Argentinian military dictatorship. A masterfully crafted plot that reviews the nineteen sixties and seventies with every device of horror and gore, dazzling us with excellence and acuity.
