Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. CADÁVER es un experimento narrativo radical: siguiendo los postulados del cadáver exquisito, nueve autores referenciales del terror, la weird fiction y la ciencia ficción especulativa en español se enfrentan al vértigo de escribir una novela compartida sin una trama consensuada ni pactos previos. Cada capítulo pertenece a un solo autor, que se lo entrega al siguiente como una herida abierta que hay que habitar, prolongar o deformar. El resultado es una obra coral, una criatura literaria de nueve cabezas: un organismo mutante, contradictorio, hermoso y monstruoso. Un desafío a los límites del género y de una lengua compartida que pulveriza cualquier noción clásica de autoría bajo la apariencia de un thriller tecno-corporativo que termina revelándose como un cuento de fantasmas y una exploración sobre el duelo y el trauma. CADÁVER es también el nombre del proyecto que investiga una nueva forma de turismo: una tecnología que permite viajar a los ecosistemas cerebrales de personas muertas de forma violenta, accediendo a los restos de la mente humana y convirtiéndolos en territorio de experiencia y explotación. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 25 cm. ciii, [1], 466 pages. Illustrations. Maps. Index. A once-high ranking Cuban government official now living in the United States paints a vivid portrait of the Cuban people, their lives under Castro's rule, and his survival and escape from his native country. A harsh look at the Cuban Revolution. At the time of this publication, no other witness has documented the Cuban revolution from the inside, at the highest levels of power over so many years. The author offers a behind-the-scenes portrait of Fidel Castro in his charisma and folly. Here, too, is a vivid look at Cuba under Castro's leadership--the pathos of the average Cuban's life and the corruption of high officials. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Llovio-Menendez maintains that he returned to Cuba from France, where he was studying medicine, in the 1960s not to join the revolution but to penetrate the system in order to rescue his uncle, imprisoned for counterrevolutionary activity. He failed to save his uncle, but went on to forge a career in the film and sugar ministries and plotted his own escape. At one point, Llovio-Menendez was himself imprisoned. The most dramatic sections of the book have to do with his guise as a `revolutionary persona' and the conflict he felt over his double life. A suspenseful personal story, the credible memoir also provides a look at the Cuban revolution, the `repression, paranoia, and deceit,' plus glimpses of Castro, his brother Raul, Che Guevara and Celia Sanchez. Llovio-Menendez ultimately made good his escape and now lives in the U.S. Luciano Franchi de Allaro (Author photograph) (illustrator).…
