In this labyrinthine work, Juan José Saer leads us through two parallel investigations into the complexity of reason, memory, and perception. The famous mystery of a series of murders in Paris and the search for the authorship of a manuscript intersect with that common goal. With sharp wit and the precision of finding the exact word, Saer exposes our tendency to anticipate judgments about what we cannot know and reveals the difficulty of forming a realistic opinion in a world that cannot be simplified, delving into our darkest corners.
Juan José Saer was a major Argentine writer. For his novel The Event, he won the Premio Nadal in 1987. In 1990, he shared the Silver Condor Award for Best Original Screenplay for the film Las veredas de Saturno. In 2004, he received a Platinum Konex Award for his 1994–98 work.
