BOOK / LIVING DOWNSTAIRS. Gustavo Faverón Patriau

NARRATIVE

A key novel in twenty-first-century Latin American literature, Living Below is an adventure book, a horror story, a detective mystery, a story made up of a thousand stories, and a chronicle of journeys through the realms of madness and terror. It is also a novel of quixotic humor, populated by crazed artists, erudite spies, ghostly poets, and misguided revenge.

It begins in Peru, when an American filmmaker commits a sinister murder in the basement of a house on the day of the capture of Abimael Guzmán, leader of the Shining Path. The prehistory of this crime dates back twenty-five years, and its solution will take another twenty-five. The reader will marvelously discover how pieces of the enigma emerge from catacombs, asylums, and underground prisons throughout an endless journey through the dark dungeons of the history of Latin America, Europe, and the United States.
