Overview
«Un maestro consumado, el mejor de mi generación.» Roberto Bolaño, Entre paréntesisUn escritor mexicano visita en Tánger a un viejo amigo que le confiesa que su hijo Abdelkrim se encuentra en apuros. También le confía una bolsa con varios casetes de audio en los que se relata la historia del muchacho marroquí, un joven prodigio de las matemáticas y la tecnología becado en una universidad de Estados Unidos y seleccionado para seguir un programa especial de la NASA. Junto a los casetes, recibe una tarjeta de memoria con documentos en árabe que deberá decodificar. A medida que penetra en la historia de Abdelkrim, descubre que está siendo perseguido y que se encuentra en el centro de una conspiración cósmica.
Rey Rosa crea un thriller hipnótico y sensual que nos lleva de Tánger a Patmos, de Mountain View a Estambul, y nos hace reflexionar sobre la era de violencia extrema que vivimos.
«Rey Rosa crea historias de proporciones míticas.»
Jonah Raskin, San Francisco Chronicle
«Discípulo libresco de Jorge Luis Borges, primero, y en directo de Paul Bowles, después, Rodrigo Rey
Rosa es un narrador sin patria ni tradición, marcado por la austeridad ejemplar de su escritura.»
