Vienen a estos lugares crey ndose escritores y se van como personajes, piensa Mona Tarrile-Byrne, joven narradora peruana. En su espiral de drogas californianas y derivas er ticas, Mona aterriza en un pueblito de Suecia junto con unos pocos colegas nominados al prestigioso premio literario Basske-Wortz. En ese lugar l mite -en la frontera del espacio habitable por la cultura, antes de la noche muerta del rtico-, descubre las marcas misteriosas de una violencia que no puede explicarse.

Llegados de todo el mundo, los escritores se agradan y recelan, se miden y seducen.

La autora brilla en este thriller de ideas, una s tira devastadoramente actual de la brutalidad latente en las lites culturales y una oscura meditaci n sobre el poder de la lengua para transformar el mundo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A novel of ideas and suspense, a literary thriller where the key to the crime is hidden inside the body of a writer that's competing for a prize.

Pola Oloixarca's prose is the great event of the new Argentinian narrative. Ricardo Piglia

They come to these places believing themselves to be writers and they leave as characters, thinks Mona Tarrile-Byrne, a young Peruvian novelist.

In her spiral of Californian drugs and erotic drifts, Mona lands in a small town in Sweden along with some other colleagues nominated for the prestigious literary prize Basske-Wortz. In that restricted place- on the border of the space habitable by culture, before the dead night of the Arctic, - she discovers the mysterious marks left by an act of violence that can't be explained.

Arriving from all over the world, the writers like, fear, measure and seduce each other. Among the sexual and mental adventures of the protagonist, the debates about avant-garde, ideologies and the marketplace-from TED talks to Borgesian orgasms, - Pola Oloixarca portrays with amazing acidity the hipster circle of an imaginary weltliteratur.

The author shines in this thriller of ideas, a satire devastatingly current about the latent brutality of the cultural elites and a dark meditation on the power of language to transform the world. The critics have said... Clearly The Wild Theories is] one of the first classics of the 21st Century that Latin American literature has given us. El Mundo Pola Oloixarca is] an exquisite anthropologist of contemporary barbarism. Ignacio Echevarr a A strong innovation in the Argentinian novel. Horacio Gonz lez Monstrously intelligent and horribly funny. Javier Calvo
