Como tantos personajes de la realidad y de la ficci n, el protagonista de El s ndrome de Ulises est en Par s para hacerse escritor. Pero esta no es la gran capital, llena de esplendor y refinamiento, sino los bajos fondos parisinos, donde se cruzan los destinos de cientos de inmigrantes acuciados por la necesidad, la soledad y el estigma de su condici n de extranjeros. En esta versi n oscura de la "Ciudad de la luz", las oportunidades de subsistencia son tan precarias e inesperadas que unos y otros se lanzan al desenfreno, como si el sexo, el alcohol y las drogas fueran el escape de la miseria. Por su ritmo vertiginoso, por la simpat a que despiertan sus protagonistas, por las verdades sencillas y complejas que revela, El s ndrome de Ulises se ha convertido en una de las novelas colombianas m s le das y queridas de la ltima d cada.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Santiago Gamboa is, along with Gabriel Garc a M rquez, Colombia's most important author." --Manuel V squez Montalb n

Like so many other figures in fiction and real life, the protagonist of Ulysses Syndrome is in Paris to become an author. But the Paris he inhabits isn't the grand capital of glamour and refinement; instead, it's a city of seedy alleys and squalor, peopled by desperate immigrants struggling with poverty, loneliness and the stigma of their foreignness. In this dark version of the "City of Lights", opportunities to eke out a living are so infrequent and precarious that many give themselves over to debauchery, seeking an escape from their misery in sex, drugs and alcohol. With its relentless pace and compelling characters and the simple and complicated truths it reveals, Ulysses Syndrome is one of the most widely read and beloved Colombian novels of the past decade.
