The Books Oracle
by Roque Larraquy
In 1907 Buenos Aires, Doctor Quintana and his colleagues conduct grotesque experiments at a sanatorium, motivated by love for the head nurse Menéndez and promises of transcendence. Roque Larraquy weaves together medical horror, obsessive desire, and Argentine history into a disturbing meditation on bodies, knowledge, and violence. Dark, surgical prose dissects the intersection of science and cruelty.
