At the port of Buenos Aires in September 1933, the Peruvian Rubber Company delivers nineteen indigenous people from the Amazon to Amado Dam, a highly respected citizen and member of a committee charged with creating the first ever Ethnographic Theme Park in Argentina. And among the human cargo is an unaccounted for box, harboring a sloth with a fascinating yet terrifying secret. How will this discovery become a state secret over time and under the control of the National Telepathy Commission? Roque Larraquy, one of the most original voices in contemporary Argentinean literature, brings us a shocking, bizarre, brazen, imaginative novel that lays all-too-bare the secret longings and not-so-secret machinations of a social class that will stop at nothing in order to stay in power.
Roque Larraquy was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1975. He is a novelist, screenwriter, and the director of BA in Creative Writing at the Universidad de las Artes in Buenos Aires. He's the author of three novels, including National Telepathy. His debut novel, Comemadre , received rave reviews in the US and was longlisted for the National Book Award in 2018. Frank Wynne is a literary translator. Born in Ireland, he moved to France in 1984 where he discovered a passion for language working as a bookseller in Paris. He began translating literature in the late 1990s before deciding to devote himself to this full time. He has translated works by Michel Houellebecq, Frédéric Beigbeder, Ahmadou Kourouma, Boualem Sansal, Claude Lanzmann, Tómas Eloy Martínez and Almudena Grandes. His work has earned him several awards, including the Scott Moncrieff Prize and the Premio Valle Inclán. Most recently, his translation of Vernon Subutex by Virginie Despentes was shortlisted for the Man Booker International 2018. In 2022 his translation of The Art of Losing by Alice Zeniter won the Dublin Literary Award.
