Un mundo de provincias por el que Federico Stahl, antiguo virtuoso adolescente del piano, se pasea en una gira musical que lo llevar por pueblos on ricos e inquietantes, personajes singulares (como un anciano imitador de Michael Jackson y una estrella enana del porno argentino), carreteras en ruinas dentro de la jungla de mara a y secretos de futuros m s extra os a n que acechan en la espesura, entre piratas postapocal pticos, juguetes perdidos y viejas variaciones para piano. Ramiro Sanchiz, una de las voces m s particulares de la narrativa uruguaya contempor nea, compone una novela sugerente y seductora, impregnada de melancol a futurista.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Federico Stahl is one of the greatest characters in Latin American literature of this century." --Edmundo Paz Sold n

It all happened in the nineties. Oil not only ran out, but the thicket grew from the depleted oilfields--and, at the same time, from the large amount of garbage in the oceans--a new life form capable of digesting plastic, but toxic to human beings. This great pandemic nearly destroyed civilization. Worse: while it progressed during the twenty-first century, humanity learned to survive in a world no longer globalized. A world of provinces where Federico Stahl, former teenage piano virtuoso, wanders in a concert tour that will take him to oneiric and haunting towns, to singular characters (such as an old Michael Jackson impersonator and an Argentinian dwarf porn star), along ruined highways in the thicket, and to secrets of stranger futures lurking in the wilderness, among post-apocalyptic pirates, lost toys, and old piano variations. Ramiro Sanchiz, one of the most peculiar voices in contemporary Uruguayan narrative, composes a suggestive and seductive novel, permeated with futuristic melancholy.
