Synopsis

Book by Padilla Ignacio

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

The fertile imagination of Ignacio Padilla, one of Mexico's leading authors, has never been better revealed than in this extraordinary collection of short stories. They are sometimes humorous, often puzzling and always brilliantly inventive . . . above all there is the sheer exuberance of a truly original writer giving his creativity full rein' YORKSHIRE EVENING POST
'Those seeking to have their sense of place philosophically enhanced will relish ANTIPODES, a series of essays by the avant-garde Mexican novelist Ignacio Padilla' THE TIMES
'Mexican author and former diplomat Ignacio Padilla is part of a young literary movement called Crack, which aims to bury the easy allure of magic realism and show that Latin American writing can be intellectually demanding. His first short-story collection to be published in English is certainly that'. GUARDIAN 16/7

Quatrième de couverture :

Dazzlingly inventive tales of demented explorers and impossible missions, from the scorching heat of the Gobi desert to the top of Mount Everest.
Based on history, legend an an awe-inspiring power of invention, Antipodes delights, terrifies and entrances with new myths that leave us with the question: where do we find the end of the world?
'A writer of outstanding gifts' Barry Unsworth, New York Times
'Like France's Houellebecq, America's Palahniuk and Britain's Branton, Padilla is setting the agenda for fiction in the coming decades' Big Issue
'Ignacio Padilla represents the continuation and reinvigoration of literature in our country' Carlos Fuentes
'Such bliss!' Glen Baxter
