AMADO MONSTRUO

Una insolita conversacion entre dos personajes aparentemente muy dispares con un vinculo comun: la obsesion por una madre posesiva. Uno de ellos, Antonio, comete a los 30 anos su primer acto de rebeldia y desafia a su madre, que lo tiene practicamente secuestrado, y acude a una entrevista para solicitar un empleo como guarda jurado de un banco. El otro, Krugger, impasible jefe de personal, lo somete a un interrogatorio para conocer su dominio en el manejo de las armas, pero durante la conversacion se filtra un abominable secreto... Una soberbia muestra del talento arrollador de Tomeo, a caballo entre el humor y el horror. / Jumping from the grotesque to horror, Much Loved Monster records the unusual conversation between two characters that to begin with seem very different, but who discover as their verbal tussle continues something that links them together: an obsession with a possessive mother. Javier Tomeo confirms in this novel his ability to create ominously dream-like situations with a hyperrealist finishing touch. With moments as funny as others are blood-curdling, this story by means of dialogue first pulls the reader in then leads them towards an unexpected ending.
