Atlas del Eclipse

A hypnotic narrative essay, travel book, and non-fiction novel that takes place during one hundred days of the year 2020. From mid-February, when Reinaldo Laddaga contracted the coronavirus, to the demonstrations that caused the murder of George Floyd. During those strange months, the author dedicated himself to systematically walking through the ghostly metropolis, touring the most unknown dimension of New York City. Its old parks, jails, asylums, cemeteries and sanatoriums. And the new refrigerated trucks that housed the corpses of the pandemic. Ambitious and vagabond literature to investigate the subconscious of a city and a time.
