| Synopsis | In this novel, the extractive past and present of the Amazon are intertwined within the framework of a disturbing and lysergic environment. Fleeing from scandal, the protagonist of this story takes refuge in a laboratory where an enigmatic investigation is being carried out. With the intention of creating the most advanced virtual reality video game, a team led by the charismatic Dr. Dunn seeks to reproduce the hallucinogenic effects of an ancient plant known as “sky wing.” A duel of shadows soon begins in which it is difficult to discern who has more to hide. Perhaps only the mythical wing can guide the way out of this labyrinth of illusions. In The Gaze of Plants, Edmundo Paz Soldán manages to amalgamate a wide series of literary motifs to formulate urgent questions about our time, in which the seductive power of screens seems to trap us with their promises of satisfaction and plenitude. Dystopia and fantasy literature are enveloped by the dense foliage of the jungle – that fragile titan in danger of disappearing – to take to the extreme the minds of beings that wander through this world with their wounds open, raw. |
