Product Description
Invitado a pasar dos meses en una residencia de escritores en un puerto frances, un novelista argentino treintanero, emprende el viaje junto a su mujer como si fuera un programa turistico. No sabe hasta que punto esa vacacion europea se convertira en la peor y mas aleccionadora de las pesadillas. Apenas instalado, el cuerpo le juega malas pasadas: un extrano quiste le brota en la base del cuello y la crema homeopatica que le recetan resulta tener propiedades lisergicas. Su mujer, harta de Francia, se refugia en Londres, mientras su editor frances se comporta como un consumado impostor en interminables sobremesas alcoholicas. Esas zozobras lo empujan a un laberinto de espejismos y trampas en cuyo centro lo esperan la intemperie, el delirio y acaso el crimen. Wasabi es la cronica alucinada de como un escritor se fabrica un mundo atroz para acceder a la verdad del amor y la literatura. / An Argentinean novelist sets off on a trip with his wife after he is invited to spend a few months in a writers residence in a French port town. What he does not realise is that the trip will become the most sobering of nightmares. His body begins to play dirty tricks on him: a strange cyst appears at the base of his neck and the homeopathic cream they prescribe him turns out to have hallucinogenic qualities. Wasabi is an eccentric account of how a writer creates for himself a terrible world in order to obtain the truth of love and literature.
