The Adventure of the Busts of Eva Perón
"Exhilarating, inventive, and consistently absorbing."—The Guardian
Buenos Aires, 1992. Hacker Felipe Félix is summoned to the twin towers of magnate Fausto Tamerlán and charged with finding witnesses to a very public crime. Refusal is not an option. After a decade immersed in virtual realities, trying to forget the Falklands War, Félix has to confront the city.
Detective novel, cyber-thriller, inner-city road trip, and war memoir, The Islands is a hilarious, devastating, and dizzyingly surreal account of a history that remains raw.
Carlos Gamerro, born in 1962, is one of the most highly regarded contemporary Argentine writers.
