Synopsis coming soon.......
Translated by Megan McDowell. A debut about the demented final project of a brilliant mathematician. An allegory of the clash between European and Latin American history.
"Colonel Lágrimas is a clever book, slightly claustrophobic in its setting, but spanning the globe through its focus on the old man's memories?. It's beautifully written, with more good work here by the excellent McDowell?. [The tedium of the Colonel's life,] in Fonseca's hands, far from being something to grieve, becomes a celebration of a life less ordinary."
