ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Written with the utmost intensity and an impressive arsenal of narrative tricks, this book offers the unusual combination of depth and humor that characterizes the works of José Agustín.
It’s Getting Late (End in the Lagoon) is considered by critics one of the great Mexican novels of the late millennium. Set in Acapulco during the early 1970s, it tells of the never-ending trip undertaken by a tarot reader and an Acapulco drug-dealer, who are engaged in an incredible sadomasochistic relationship, and a quiet and wise homosexual youth, who counteracts the book’s vertigo. These characters enter an event-packed whirlwind where drugs, rock ‘n’ roll, irreverence, and rebellion serve as triggers for a profound personal search. Witten with terrifying intensity, It’s Getting Late (End in the Lagoon)explores human nature and reflects the end of an era while describing the beginning of another one. In this book, José Agustín turns our gaze onto ourselves while masterfully combining depth and humor, two elements that characterize all of his work
