{"product_id":"bariloche-9781948830621","title":"Bariloche","description":"Demetrio Rota, a garbage collector from Buenos Aires, sleeps in the afternoons and assembles puzzles at night before leaving for work. His daily life is mediocre and he keeps his balance through sheer exhaustion. However, through the puzzles, Demetrio inspects and sorts through his own memories. At the end of the journey through his history, the present seems to devour him, until he's left with only the emptiness of himself and his daily misery. A parable of memory and deterioration, Andrés Neuman's \u003ci\u003eBariloche\u003c\/i\u003e juxtaposes the astonished memories of youth with a skeptical conscience; the impossible idealization of nature or first love with the moral and physical suffocation of the big city; being uprooted with returning to one's origins, with a language fascinated by both lyricism and rottenness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrés Neuman\u003c\/b\u003e (1977) was selected as one of \u003ci\u003eGranta\u003c\/i\u003e's Best of Young Spanish-Language Novelists and was included on the Bogotá-39 list.
