In the midst of her familys celebration of a national holiday, an LP, careening through the air like a demented boomerang, severs her jugular. Her family an agglomeration of perversions, deformities, and obsessionsseems at first not to notice, singing on. Aurora is left behind in a voyeuristic limbo as an omniscient first-person narrator, to observe the depravity of her family and reflect on the farce of her life and human existence.</p><p>Fernanda García Lao has been called the strangest writer of Argentine literature, and in <em>Out of the Cage</em>, she lives up to that distinction. The book is saturated in strangeness, a blend of formal experimentation, eroticism, grotesque theatricality, and dark humor that evokes the absurdist fictions of Witold Gombrowicz and the style of Silvina Ocampo. The result is a macabre and fantastic vaudeville, a tragicomedy, a kind of Dadaist opus against ideas of eternal beauty and fixed identity, against absolute concepts and universality.</p>...3604438Out of the Cage178204https://www.gandhi.com.mx/out-of-the-cage-9781646050468/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2740945/62e10536-31a6-4945-9dbb-81b257b18467.jpg?v=638744222465270000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20219781646050468_W3siaWQiOiIzYzgzMDczYy1hMDcwLTQ0MTEtYTUwZi05NzdmOTMwZjAzNzQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjE5OSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjI2LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjE3MywiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781646050468_<p>This book keys into the current obsession with Latin American literature, especially in translation from women authors. Though shes created a huge amount of buzz south of the US, this is Garcia Laos first time in English. Fans of Silvina Ocampo, New Directions, and Feminist Press will love this book. An infernal burlesque, Fernanda García Laos <em>Out of the Cage</em> demonstrates an unabashed penchant for desecration, slaughtering sacred institutions while mercilessly skewering the sanctimonious. Saturated with the twin intoxicants of death and deviance, this is an outlandish, gyrating, risqué revelation of a novel. A taboo-incinerating provocation to the very end.
