El asco Thomas Bernhard en San Salvador / Revulsion Thomas Bernhard in San Salvador - Spanish Edition
Author: Horacio Castellanos Moya

El libro más emblemático y controvertido de Castellanos Moya. — Seleccionado por Babelia entre los 100 mejores libros de los últimos 25 años. — El asco, una de las novelas más celebradas de Horacio Castellanos Moya, es sin duda la más controvertida de toda su producción y aquella por la que los lectores de su país le recordarán siempre. En sus pág... more »inas, el autor se propuso «hacer una demolición cultural y política de San Salvador, al igual que Thomas Bernhard la había hecho de Salzburgo», y el resultado es una novela extraordinariamente incisiva y mordaz, un ajuste de cuentas y una crítica feroz a su país, por la que recibió amenazas de muerte que lo forzaron a emprender el camino del exilio.

Tras la reciente muerte de su madre, el profesor Edgardo Vega regresa a El Salvador después de dieciocho años de exilio en Canadá. Para Vega, retornar a su país natal significa tener que enfrentarse a un país que le resulta despreciable, repulsivo e ignorante, un lugar que solo es capaz de provocarle náuseas y el más alto grado de ansiedad. Todo esto le cuenta Vega a Moya, un antiguo compañero de escuela, y llega a nosotros en la forma de un monólogo torrencial en el que el profesor arremete contra todo y contra todos, en una crítica feroz y despiadada de la que no se salva nada ni nadie, ni siquiera su propia familia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Castellanos Moya?s most emblematic and controversial book.

Selected by Babelia among the 100 best books of the last 25 years.

Revulsion, one of Castellanos Moya?s most celebrated novels is undoubtedly the most controversial of his works, and one for which readers in his country will always remember him. It is written in a single paragraph and alive with a fury as astringent as the wrath of Thomas Bernhard. The result is an extraordinarily incisive and scathing novel, a settling of accounts, and a fierce criticism of his country; a work for which he received death threats that forced him into exile.

Due to his mother?s passing, professor Edgardo Vega returns to El Salvador from an 18-year exile in Canada. For Vega, returning to his native country means having to face a despicable, repulsive, and ignorant country, a place that gives him great anxiety and nausea. He confides all of this to Moya, an old classmate, and is offered to the reader in the form of a torrential monologue in which Vega attacks everything and everyone, in a fierce and ruthless criticism from which not even his family is excluded.

Roberto Bolaño called Revulsion ?Castellanos Moya?s darkest book and perhaps his best. A parody of certain works by Bernhard, and the kind of book that makes you laugh out loud.?
