Unexpected among the human cargo is a box, harboring a sloth with a fascinating yet terrifying secret: the ability to create erotically explosive telepathic connections between people. What ensues is a raucous satire of men’s fear of women’s bodies, of the illusion of logic in the structures of so-called civilization, and the way class and race obscure identities when the observer is a man with power. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe National Telepathy\u003c\/em\u003e , Roque Larraquy, one of the most original voices in contemporary Argentine literature, brings us a literary highwire act, an over-the-top comic grotesque about atrocity. This shocking, bizarre, funny, imaginative novel lays all-too-bare the secret longings and not-so-secret machinations of a social class that will stop at nothing in order to stay on top.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roque Larraquy","offers":[{"title":"Charco Press |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2025-02-28","offer_id":46299074953471,"sku":"9781913867904","price":25.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_c23b6fca-a5db-4ca9-a29a-327093931d6c.jpg?v=1730482120","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781913867904","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
