Another author to watch,

This review is from: The Pelcari Project/Cardel de arboles (Paperback)
Reading The Pelcari project led me to read everything available by Rodrigo Rey Rosa; I am comfortable recommending any and all of his works.The Pelcari Project is an interesting study of human individuality and social engineering ... both provocative and frightening in its social implications. Think of the tale as a cautionary tale of the behavioral scientist/neurosurgeon gone mad.

An interesting experiment about writers in actual society,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pelcari Project/Cardel de arboles (Paperback)
Provocative. Daring. A voice that electrifies. Yet, the book has to be seen in a wider lens. It is and isn't about Central America. It, might be, about writers in actual times, in a globalize world. The way to go farther than a sylable. It is also a begginer's work. It is an experimental text. The main idea is far stronger than the ending. The reading is recommended. Rey Rosa is at the moment the best Guatemala has to offer.
