Sudor / Sweat (Spanish Edition)
Vertiginoso, salvaje, Sudor es el colosal relato de un editor que describe, con desparpajo y humor corrosivo, el funcionamiento y las relaciones del mundo literario.
Suerte de despiadada sátira a la feria de vanidades que pueden ser las giras de prensa de escritores y sus egos desatados, esta novela es también una indagación sin anestesia en un submundo gay donde los afectos quedan relegados a un segundo plano por el despliegue de una serie de relaciones carnales, efÃmeras y extremas, propiciadas por Grindr, la exitosa red social de contactos homosexuales que Alf, el editor narrador de esta novela, usa con la misma frecuencia con que sus autores lo utilizan a él como consejero, asesor o cómplice. Entre tanto, la ciudad de Santiago, donde trascurren los pocos dÃas que Sudor relata, cobra una presencia inusitada que raras veces la narrativa chilena ha sabido darle.Una novela tragicómica, estructurada con maestrÃa por la escritura ágil, festiva y electrizante del mejor Fuguet, aquella que lo ha convertido en una referencia de la literatura hispanoamericana.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Savage and dizzying, Sweat is the extraordinary tale of an editor who describes, with impudence and corrosive humor, the inner workings and relationships of the literary world.
A merciless satire of the vanity fair that press tours for writers and their out-of-control egos can be, this novel is also a sharp inquiry into the gay underworld where affection takes a backseat to the unfolding of a series of fleeting, extreme carnal relationships brought about by Grindr, the successful social network for homosexual contacts that Alf, the editor who narrates this story, uses as often as his authors use him as an advisor, consultant, or accomplice. Meanwhile, the city of Santiago, where the few days depicted by Sweat take place, takes on an unusual presence that Chilean fiction has rarely been able to capture.
A tragicomic novel, structured masterfully with Fuguet’s agile, festive, and electric writing, that has become a landmark piece in Latin American literature.
