«Vacilación» is the spy novel by Anthony Burgess, published by Acantilado in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
Denis Hillier, a spy for the English Secret Service on the verge of retirement, takes on one last mission: to find and kidnap Roper, a scientist friend from his childhood who has defected to the other side of the Iron Curtain. Far from the elegant and effective agent, this clumsy and absent-minded antihero turns the plot into a caricature of the spy genre, with suspense and an ethical reflection on the Cold War.
Translation by David Horacio Colmenares. Work originally published in English under the title «Tremor of intent». Number 160 of the Acantilado Narrativa collection.
For readers who enjoy spy novels treated with irony and for those familiar with the work of Anthony Burgess, author of A Clockwork Orange.
John Anthony Burgess Wilson was an English writer and composer.
