Synopsis of The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman
Sumérgete en la mente de Angela Carter con 'Las infernales máquinas del deseo del Doctor Hoffman'. Desiderio, un empleado de la ciudad, se enfrenta a una realidad distorsionada por las máquinas del Doctor Hoffman y se enamora de Albertina, la hija del doctor, una mujer de cristal que solo aparece en sus sueños. En su búsqueda, Desiderio se encuentra con caníbales, centauros y acróbatas, luchando contra la irrealidad y la distorsión del tiempo y el espacio para estar con Albertina, mientras el Doctor sume la ciudad en un caos de locura, crimen y exceso sexual. Esta novela es una búsqueda satírica de la verdad, el amor y la identidad.
