Description
A wry, unsettling novel of ideas and appetite, this story follows an obsessive philosophy student and a young couple drawn into Buenos Aires’ underground—where war and sex, eroticism and philosophy collide. As characters chase impossible, visionary theories, they confront fear and violence in both public and private forms, testing whether thought can outpace desire, and whether intimacy can survive the pressure of ideology. Blending sharp satire with intellectual restlessness, the book examines how people become “social animals” even when they insist on being singular minds. In a fragmented digital world, these flawed, compelling characters search for meaning—only to discover that theory, like the body, is never fully under control.
