Description

Along the banks of Argentina’s Río Paraná, a tense hunt unfolds as a horse-killer stalks the landscape and a man and a woman struggle to keep a single animal safe. Set against a backdrop of political oppression, the novel traces how fear and suspicion corrode ordinary bonds, turning everyday choices into acts of survival and moral negotiation. With Saer’s characteristic precision and lyrical restraint, the story builds a haunting atmosphere where violence feels both personal and systemic. More than a thriller of pursuit, it’s a meditation on paranoia, complicity, and the fragile line between protection and harm.
