The outer archives are busy

by Arturo Arias

About this book

Jaguar en llamas es una ambiciosa novela que posee múltiples niveles de lectura. Puede leerse como una historía paródica de Guatemala, desde la conquista hasta el presente. Puede leerse como una novela sobre la eterna necesidad--e imposibilidad--de cada generación de escribir de nuevo la historia. Puede leerse como pasión de amor extendida en el tiempo y en el espacio, o como un juego literario en que al lector le toca el papel detectivesco de investigar cuál es falso, reconocer las huellas dispersas a lo largo del libro y tratar de conformales un sentido toatalizador a las mismas.--Cover Jaguar en llamas is an ambitious novel that has multiple levels of reading. It can be read as a parody history of Guatemala, from the conquest to the present. It can be read as a novel about the eternal need - and impossibility - of each generation to write history again. It can be read as a love passion extended in time and space, or as a literary game in which the reader has the detective role of investigating what is false, recognizing the scattered footprints throughout the book and trying to make a sense of them.--translation provided by translate.google.com
