In "Neguijón", Fernando Iwasaki presents a historical novel set in the Spanish Golden Age and the Viceroyalty of Peru. The plot follows a Sevillian tooth puller who flees the Inquisition and seeks the mysterious "neguijón", a worm that corrupts teeth. Through two intertwined stories, Iwasaki explores the culture, erudition, travels, and superstitions of the time, paying homage to Hispanic American literature. A work that immerses the reader in a world of alchemists, heretics, and the obsessive search for answers in an empire marked by pain.
Fernando Iwasaki Cauti is a Peruvian writer and historian.
