Blanco Calder n said about the potential of language, I am convinced that all the evil in the world begins in them: in words (Caracas, 2010). Yet, the form is unapologetically literary, a reflection on the depiction and distortion of reality through storytelling. The title of the book, originally also in English, is a gesture towards Chavism's failure to resist US influence. The Night / The Night by Rodrigo Blanco Calderon: 9788420419459 : Books NOVELA GALARDONADA CON EL III PREMIO BIENAL DE NOVELA MARIO VARGAS LLOSA Premio Rive Gauche (Francia) Premio de la Crítica (Venezuela) Una fábula. This is a political novel about the financial crisis and socio-political division in Venezuela from 2008 to 2010. The author shifts between crime fiction and metafiction, cautioning readers that the events retold are both true and manipulated. The central narrator is a psychiatrist who manipulates the accounts of his friend, an author writing a book titled The Night and his patient, an advertising executive obsessed with understanding the world through word puzzles. They recount contradictory versions of the plot, a series of femicides that began with the energy crisis. Real and fictional characters, most of them are writers, exchange the role of narrator in this polyphonic novel. Recurring blackouts envelop Caracas in an inescapable darkness that makes nightmares come true.
For readers who love Bolano, a new voice of Latin American fiction, winner of the Mario Vargas Llosa Prize.
