Reviews
Fleeting pleasure leads to disaster when young Max Schmidt's first sexual encounter becomes an act of political subversion. Escape to Brazil salvages him from Nazi Germany's supremacist principles, a domineering father, and the macabre laboratories of one professor Kunz, who is in search of the meaning of life. But when it comes to liberating himself from bestial felines, Max is not so fortunate. The glaring eyes of his father's taxidermic tiger haunts his sleep. A jaguar happens to be his companion at sea after a shipwreck. His blissful exile is threatened when the cries of a panther mysteriously herald the arrival of a German officer. Scliar convivially probes the angst of the migrator and the loss of identity. Terse and whimsical, this engaging subterraneous fantasy strengthens the writer's already intrepid voice in Latin American fiction.
