La mano del amo

Dominated by impetuous, disturbing yet inspiring language, this is a beautiful story of the possibility of flying towards altitudes never before dreamed and an uncertain search, possibly nonexistent: the search for happiness. Holder of fortunate vocal cords, Carmona, the main character, is the universal delegate of the oppressed voices, in a literal and figurative sense. This is the frustrated, disturbed, and very real prose of one of the most remarkable Latin American writers.
