Un Crimen Dialéctico (Novela) / A Dialectical Crime (a Novel) [Spanish]
Un policial filos fico inquietante sobre los actos de elecci n humana.
Un joven doctor en ciencias, con un pasado de militancia revolucionaria, es convocado por sus antiguos camaradas para cumplir una "misi n de sangre" que puede cambiar el destino de las elecciones presidenciales en la transici n de una dictadura militar a la democracia. La misi n lo obliga a interrumpir un reporte cient fico sobre un experimento de neurociencias que probar a que el libre albedr o no existe. Este informe se entrelaza poco a poco con los dilemas que debe enfrentar el protagonista al convivir con su v ctima, con las interferencias y perturbaciones imprevistas del amor y con el plan que concibe con la paciencia de un ajedrecista.
Guillermo Mart nez expande con maestr a inigualable el g nero del "policial filos fico", tal como hab a hecho con sello propio en Cr menes imperceptibles, Los cr menes de Alicia y La muerte lenta de Luciana B. En un cruce deslumbrante de diferentes cosmovisiones, pone en juego un asombroso registro de lenguajes que van del literario al cient fico, pasando por el religioso, el filos fico y el pol tico.
Con ecos de Las manos sucias, de Jean-Paul Sartre, y de Cosmos, de Witold Gombrowicz, Un crimen dial ctico propone una reflexi n inquietante sobre los actos de elecci n humana, desde los m s nimios hasta los m s trascendentes, y plantea una pregunta cifrada desde el pasado revolucionario que se proyecta hasta nuestro presente.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An unsettling philosophical thriller about the choices human beings make.
A young scientist with a past in revolutionary activism is summoned by former comrades to carry out a "blood mission" that could alter the outcome of a presidential election during the transition from military dictatorship to democracy. The mission forces him to interrupt a scientific report on a neuroscience experiment that would prove free will does not exist. As the report unfolds, it becomes intertwined with the dilemmas the protagonist faces while living alongside his intended victim, the unexpected disruptions and complications of love, and the carefully crafted plan he develops with the patience of a chess player.
Guillermo Mart nez masterfully expands the genre of the "philosophical crime novel," as he previously did in Cr menes imperceptibles, Los cr menes de Alicia, and La muerte lenta de Luciana B. Through a dazzling convergence of different worldviews, he employs an extraordinary range of languages that spans the literary and scientific, as well as the religious, philosophical, and political.
Echoing Dirty Hands by Jean-Paul Sartre and Cosmos by Witold Gombrowicz, Un crimen dial ctico offers a thought-provoking reflection on human choice, from the most trivial decisions to the most consequential, while posing an encoded question rooted in the revolutionary past that resonates powerfully in the present.
