Description
In this vibrant and surreal novel, Severo Sarduy plunges readers into the dazzling, yet disorienting, world of Cobra, the celebrated transvestite star of the Teatro Lírico de Muñecas. Driven by an all-consuming obsession with bodily transformation, Cobra embarks on a journey that leads from the theatrical stage to the exotic landscapes of Morocco. The narrative explores profound themes of identity, desire, and the fluid nature of self, all rendered in Sarduy's signature baroque and experimental prose. This is a mesmerizing exploration of the performative self and the relentless pursuit of an idealized form.
