Argenis Luna carga sobre los hombros el mundo entero. La figura gigantesca de su padre, un h???roe de la guerrilla urbana dominicana cuyo ???xito ha sido m???s m???tico que real. La promesa trunca de su propia carrera de pintor. Los estragos de una adicci???n que lo define al menor asomo de responsabilidad o de culpa. Tras un viaje obligado a Cuba en pos de un tratamiento de desintoxicaci???n, Argenis vuelve a una cruel Santo Domingo que lo espera con la misma rabia, las mismas contradicciones, la misma codicia que lleva a traicionar todos los sue???os e ideales. V???stago de una revoluci???n que devora a sus hijos, tendr??? que sobrevivir la tensi???n doble que el desarraigo y la sed de pertenencia ejercen sin tregua sobre ???l. En su retrato descarnado del protagonista y su prosa inconfundiblemente caribe???a, Rita Indiana demuestra por qu??? es una de las voces m???s atractivas de la literatura latinoamericana de hoy. Argenis Luna carries the entire world on his shoulders. The gigantic figure of his father, a hero of the Dominican urban guerrilla whose success has been more mythical than real. The truncated promise of his own career as a painter. The ravages of an addiction that defines the slightest hint of responsibility or guilt. After a forced trip to Cuba in search of a detoxification treatment, Argenis returns to a cruel Santo Domingo who awaits him with the same rage, the same contradictions, the same greed that leads to betraying all dreams and ideals. The child of a revolution that devours it's children, he will have to survive the double tension that uprooting and the thirst for belonging relentlessly exert on him. In her stark portrait of the protagonist and her unmistakably Caribbean prose, Rita Indiana demonstrates why she is one of the most attractive voices in Latin American literature today.
