Los años inútiles

Rate this book
This new author has been compared to Vargas Llosa in Conversación en La Catedral. In order to dissect Peruvian society, Benavides uses an ample spectrum of characters, from inhabitants of shacks to politicians. "it is an ambitious book, magnificently constructed ... it has been a long time since a novel has reached such heights in the scope of the Spanish language." Mario Vargas Llosa.

Uffff! Excelente! Es como leer "la conversación en la catedral" de MVLL otra vez! Un retrato de la sociedad peruana tras personajes cuyas vidas e historias van entrelazándose hasta construir una obra maestra. Es importante conocer la historia de las épocas tumultuosas del país para poder entender esta novela. Hay que leerla despacio, gozando de cada párrafo. ¡Impresionante!

Estamos ante uno de los mejores autores peruanos de los ultimos tiempos. La primera de sus novelas que leo. Una historia que nos introduce en una epoca turbulenta, triste y terrible. Personajes pesimistas y perdidos. La desesperanza por doquier. Lo asqueroso de la politica y los intereses viles . Un gobierno debil. En fin, hay que leer esta novela. Leeré mas de este autor.
