Opis

The New Republic Best Books of 2013 and World Literature Today Best Books of 2013. "Mairal's quickening prose moves from the ordinary to the opulent ...without skipping a beat."--Jed Perl, The New Republic "Mairal isn't your old college literature professor's idea of an Argentine novelist."--Los Angeles Times "Affirms Pedro Mairal's stature as one of the most significant Argentine writers working today."--David Leavitt, author of The Two Hotel Francforts At age nine, Juan Salvatierra became mute following a horse riding accident. At twenty, he began secretly painting a series of long rolls of canvas, minutely detailing six decades of life in his village on Argentina's river frontier with Uruguay. After the death of Salvatierra, his sons return to the village from Buenos Aires to deal with their inheritance: a shed packed with canvases stretching over two miles in length, depicting personal and communal history. Museum curators come calling to acquire this strange, gargantuan artwork but an essential one of its rolls is missing. A search that illuminates the links between art and life ensues, as an intrigue of family secrets buried in the past cast their shadows on the present. Pedro Mairal, born in Buenos Aires in 1970, is one of the most exciting Argentine novelists of his generation. In 2007 he was included in the Bogota 39, which named the best Latin American authors.
