Moronga - Spanish Edition
Author: Horacio Castellanos Moya

Un imprescindible de la literatura latinoamericana. Horacio Castellanos Moya es una de las voces más provocadoras, originales y relevantes de la generación de Bolaño. — José Zeledón, hombre silencioso y huraño, vive atormentado por su violento pasado. Tras huir de El Salvador con una nueva identidad después de la guerra civil, ha logrado pasar de... more »sapercibido durante años en Estados Unidos. Ahora debe dejar atrás Texas y empezar de nuevo en Wisconsin, donde un antiguo compañero de la guerrilla le ha conseguido una habitación amueblada en la ciudad universitaria de Merlow City y un trabajo de conductor de autobús escolar.

Su anodina nueva vida se verá alterada al descubrir que otro compatriota salvadoreño, el experiodista Erasmo Aragón, ejerce como profesor en el Merlow College mientras busca esclarecer la muerte del poeta revolucionario Roque Dalton.

Castellanos Moya es uno de los autores más incisivos y singulares de su generación y el único que, según Roberto Bolaño, ha sabido narrar «el horror, el Vietnam secreto que durante mucho tiempo fue Latinoamérica».

Al igual que otros personajes de Moronga, Zeledón y Aragón son supervivientes del horror, seres paranoicos y en permanente estado de alerta. Ambos nos cuentan en primera persona historias en las que asoma su pasado, la guerrilla y el narco, mientras el autor entreteje una intrincada telaraña de violencia que atrapa al lector hasta alcanzar un trepidante final en el que todos los caminos se unen.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An essential work in Latin American literature. Horacio Castellanos Moya is one of the most thought provoking, original, and relevant voices of the Bolaño generation.

José Zeledón, a quiet and shy man, lives tormented by his violent past. After fleeing from El Salvador with a new identity after its civil war, he has managed to go unnoticed for years in the United States. Now he must leave Texas behind and start a new life in Wisconsin. His peaceful new life will be altered when he discovers that another Salvadorian, journalist Erasmo Aragon, is a professor at Merlow College while he works on finding the truth about the revolutionary poet Roque Dalton?s death.

Castellanos Moya is one of the most incisive and singular authors of his generation and the only one who, according to Roberto Bolaño, has been able to narrate "the horror, the secret Vietnam that was Latin America for a long time".

Zeledón and Aragón are both survivors of the horror; both tell their first-person stories about their past, the guerrilla, and the narcos, while the author weaves an intricate cobweb of violence that soon reach a point where all roads cross.
