ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Horacio Castellanos Moya builds on the saga he began in Moronga and The Tamed Man in this continuation of the Arag n family's story.

"One of the most interesting authors on the Spanish-language literary scene." - Eduardo Mendoza

A married man and respected figure in Salvadoran society, Clemente Arag n can't seem to stop getting involved with other women. And now, he is horrified to discover, his affair with Blanca, the wife of a general and good friend, may not be as secret as he thought. For the first time, Clemente feels paranoid, a feeling exacerbated by a series of mysterious phone calls and the suspicious suicide of a wrestler who attended the Alcoholics Anonymous group he leads.

It's late February 1972. El Salvador's military government holds fraudulent elections and names a new president, sparking protests and a wave of intrigue and conspiracy. Clemente would rather stay out of it, but events come to a head over the course of one long weekend as the Arag n family is inextricably caught up in the conflict that is shaking the nation.

Castellanos Moya uses pointed prose and narrative tension to explore his country's violent history in this brilliantly crafted family saga.
