DESCRIPTION
En septiembre de 1933 desembarca en el puerto de Buenos Aires un cargamento con diecinueve indios oriundos de la Amazonia peruana. Es una entrega de la Peruvian Rubber Company para Amado Dam, miembro del selecto comité encargado de la creación del primer Parque Etnográfico del país, un sitio destinado a exhibir ejemplares de las distintas razas humanas para deleite del público visitante. Pero las cosas no salen según lo planificado y, por falta de documentación, los indios terminan ilegalmente recluidos en la casa de Dam, quien descubrirá que esconden un secreto tan fascinante como temerario: un artefacto de madera que contiene un perezoso en estado de hibernación. ¿Cómo este descubrimiento se convierte con el tiempo en un secreto de Estado bajo la dirección de la Comisión de Telepatía Nacional? Roque Larraquy, una de las voces más originales de la narrativa argentina contemporánea, construye una novela hilarante y despiadadamente crítica en su dimensión política, en la que trabaja con el imaginario y los anhelos más secretos de una clase social que solo quiere perpetuarse en el poder. In September 1933, the Peruvian Rubber Company delivers nineteen indigenous people from the Amazon to businessman Amado Dam, intended for Argentina's 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 men’s fear of women’s bodies, of the illusion of logic in the structures of so-called 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 high-wire act, an over-the-top comic grotesque about atrocity. This shocking, bizarre, funny, imaginative novel lays all-too-bare the secret longings and not-so-secret machinations of a social class that will stop at nothing in order to stay on top.
