With Resta Kaotica Ametller follows on from his kaleidoscopic Summa Kaotica as his story unfolds to followe the timeline of defeat after the Civil War. Once again, Ametller's narration eschews naturalistic treatment and envelops the reader with an enormous mass of cultural, magical, mythical or philosophical references that give a particular and peculiar vision of the world. Resta Kaotica is a mind bending, highly experimental work of literature, encompassing legend and mysticism in which Ametller digs to open the doors of new perceptions.
