L’intuizione era fenomenale. Un distopico ambientato in Colombia (paese tra i principali esportatori di stupefacenti al mondo) sull’utilizzo di una nuova droga che ha effetti solo sulle donne. Una società classista, il problema della droga e dell’utilizzo del corpo, le contraddizioni della politica e i cliché dell’arte, purtroppo tematiche presenti nella storia ma non sviluppate appieno. Sembra che l’autore abbia avuto un filosofia o un pensiero cardine e ci abbia intessuto intorno una storia che purtroppo rimane indietro rispetto al sottotesto.

Great, small book. Surreal and fed that itch for something weird.
