＜p＞＜strong＞A riveting and highly praised novel by Guatemala’s leading writer of fiction, now in English for the first time＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the vein of the writings of Paul Bowles, Paul Theroux, and V. S. Naipaul, ＜em＞The African Shore＜/em＞ marks a major new installment in the genre of dystopic travel fiction. Rodrigo Rey Rosa, prominent in today’s Guatemalan literary world and an author of growing international reputation, presents a tale of alienation, misrecognition, and intrigue set in and around Tangier. He weaves a double narrative involving a Colombian tourist pleasurably stranded in Morocco and a young shepherd who dreams of migrating to Spain and of “riches to come.” At the center of their tale is an owl both treasured and coveted.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The author addresses the anxiety, distrust, and potential for violence that characterize the border of all borders: the strait that divides Africa and Europe, where the waters of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic meet. His often-remarked prose style, at once rich and spare, endows his work with remarkable elegance. Rey Rosa generates a powerful reality within his imagined world, and he maintains a narrative tension to the haunting conclusion, raising small and large questions that linger in the reader’s mind long after the final page.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With an Afterword by Jeffrey Gray＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
