Description
During a stifling Argentinian summer, a horse-killer is on the loose. Cat Garay, heir to a once-prosperous, now dilapidated family and his lover Elisa protect a horse from certain mutilation and death. An intense sexual affair and a desultory hunt for the killer along with political anxiety are played out on the banks of the Paran? river. The haunting prose of Nobody Nothing Never confirms Juan Jos? Saer?s reputation as the most innovative Latin American writer of his generation.
