Ethnicity, ethnography, epidemic It is a soup from there Dengue boyA strange new novel by Argentine author Michel Nieva, emerging. The dengue boy of the same name is a hybrid of mosquitoes, who can be an experiment, a genetic mutation or a result of some terrible company crimes. He could be all three at the same time. In all cases, it is not important for the monstrous creatures, whom we see in 2272 in what is left of Argentina after the melting of Ice Ice Mitch has caused most of the underwater world. or hot cannot be achieved.
Hot enough to bake a turkey for 20 minutes in what surpasses the room temperature in California. Meanwhile, the Argentinians in the Argentinian waters, Muslims are still an average average year -round of 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees C in it). After that, it was surprising that the developers were busy making the Caribbean in Antarctica, the technique of all biological communes to recreate the slices of the earth, UH, and Earth. For a fixed fee, customers can choose packages of the year, 10 or 20 species to fill their biology. Who cares about a Amazon tropical forest when you can earn 30?
Humanity is hanging above, more or less, like a bug on the underside of a rock. On the other side of the rock are the privileged children of Viroeconomy (more later). These children plugged themselves into virtual headphones and immersed themselves in conquest imagination like games Christian Christian 2. An imaginary character about holding sheep: lights close to endless holes to explore. Some have all the cabinets filled with things.
I mention the sheep is not sprawling but because they have something about the strangeness of Dengue boy. All are very meaty. The heads separated, tentacles rushed in, the part became outards, the book was a riot of body sensations. It is possible to call the climate novel book, in that it is placed in a clear world in the vortex of the climate disaster, but this will emphasize the strangeness of novels, overcome economy,, Sex, biology and time without ever breathing.
Any novel in which the protagonist finds himself in an insect body draws an inevitable comparison. Degeneration. The book inside Flap describes Dengue boy As an extraordinary person, the portrait of Kafkesque of a memory loss. But in Kafka's novel, Gregor Samsa woke up and found himself turned into a monster bug; His great pain comes from his knowledge about what he used to and his life wanted to crawl back.
Dengue is always a dengue boy. He had no change that he had to go to the agreement. It is the outside world to be brought to know him. Where his mother likes to see Pudgy's arm, his wings grow out, their nerves are like the veins of a disgusting old man, and where his mother wants to hear a chuckle. And lovely, only one person is constant, Maddening Buzz will promote the most quiet soul to despair.
IN DegenerationThe transformation of Gregor Samsa is a one -way road. But the dengue boy will experience a change, such as evolution of work quickly, until it is not clear the exact time or reality or the novel begins or ends.
IN Dengue boy The billionaire class is not a technology man, but speculators about the so -called Viroeconomy, who bets on the disease about to leave and then performs a murder will be a cure. Together with developers to build ground resorts ceded by retreating icebergs, they are the only real winners in the disaster economy. It takes a certain type of person to see a destructive landscape and see an opportunity for luxurious apartments.
All sounds a bit sad, except for the internal organs, the surreal prose of Nieva translated from Spanish by Rahul Bery, whatever but. This is a book that takes the terrible strange of the world and explodes it into a terrible and unable to take your eyes off. It reminds me of the final scene of the movie PearlIn it, Mia Goth faced the camera with a prolonged and continued Rictus smile, until she cried, slowly Lighting a grimace of deep despair while the credit ends.
Dengue boy Play this trick is the opposite. It was a grim transformation into a smile. It was a scene of the camera around so many times that you were not sure if it was the director or the actor you were watching, and in every case you feel uncomfortable or you are just giddy with excitement?
It is a strange slice, spinning in a salad salad, and serving some Gunk that cannot be described on the head. It is very delicious, if you can stomach.
