Description
In postwar El Salvador, an unemployed sociologist named Eduardo Sosa becomes obsessed with a homeless man who seems to appear from nowhere—until a sudden twist leaves him inhabiting the man’s identity and, with it, the keys to a battered yellow Chevrolet. What begins as a fascination with a stranger quickly turns into a dark, fast-moving nightmare when Sosa discovers the car’s deadly secret: four poisonous snakes. As he navigates a city primed for rumor and spectacle, Sosa’s choices ignite a reign of terror that blurs the line between violence and comedy. With Horacio Castellanos Moya’s sharp, satirical edge and unsettling momentum, the novel probes social exclusion, the machinery of the media, and the uneasy tenderness that can exist among society’s margins—without ever letting the suspense or the satire slow down.
