Revulsion : Thomas Bernhard in San Salvador

by Lee Klein, Horacio Castellanos Moya
$10.16
Revulsion : Thomas Bernhard in San Salvador - Thryft
Revulsion : Thomas Bernhard in San Salvador - Thryft

Fiery, unfiltered critique on post-war El Salvador.

Recommendation: Revulsion is a must-read for fans of Thomas Bernhard and readers who enjoy dark humor. Castellanos Moya's relentless criticism of post-war El Salvador is searing and uncompromising, making for an engrossing read that will leave a lasting impression. The book's lack of paragraph breaks may be daunting at first, but it also enhances the feeling of Vega's ranting.

Description

An expatriate professor, Vega, returns from exile in Canada to El Salvador for his mother’s funeral. A sensitive idealist and an aggrieved motor mouth, he sits at a bar with the author, Castellanos Moya, from five to seven in the evening, telling his tale and ranting against everything his country has to offer. Written in a single paragraph and alive with a fury as astringent as the wrath of Thomas Bernhard, Revulsion was first published in 1997 and earned its author death threats. Roberto Bolano called Revulsion Castellanos Moya’s darkest book and perhaps his best: “A parody of certain works by Bernhard and the kind of book that makes you laugh out loud.”
