About the Book

«Un maestro consumado, el mejor de mi generación.» Roberto Bolaño, Entre paréntesisUn escritor mexicano visita en Tánger a un viejo amigo que le confiesa que su hijo Abdelkrim se encuentra en apuros. También le confía una bolsa con varios casetes de audio en los que se relata la historia del muchacho marroquí, un joven prodigio de las matemáticas y la tecnología becado en una universidad de Estados Unidos y seleccionado para seguir un programa especial de la NASA. Junto a los casetes, recibe una tarjeta de memoria con documentos en árabe que deberá decodificar. A medida que penetra en la historia de Abdelkrim, descubre que está siendo perseguido y que se encuentra en el centro de una conspiración cósmica.

Rey Rosa crea un thriller hipnótico y sensual que nos lleva de Tánger a Patmos, de Mountain View a Estambul, y nos hace reflexionar sobre la era de violencia extrema que vivimos.

«Rey Rosa crea historias de proporciones míticas.»
Jonah Raskin, San Francisco Chronicle

«Discípulo libresco de Jorge Luis Borges, primero, y en directo de Paul Bowles, después, Rodrigo Rey
Rosa es un narrador sin patria ni tradición, marcado por la austeridad ejemplar de su escritura.»
Miguel Mora

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"An accomplished teacher, the best of my generation" -Roberto Bolaño, Between Parentheses

A Mexican writer visit an old friend in Tangiers who confesses that his son Abdelkrim is in trouble. He also hands him a bag with several audiotapes that tells the story of the Moroccan boy, a young math and technology prodigy who received a scholarship to study at a university in the United States and selected to attend a special NASA program.

Alongside the audiotapes, he also receives a USB drive containing documents in Arabic which he must decode. As he goes deeper into Abdelkrim's story, he discovers that he is being followed and that he is at the center of a conspiracy.

Rey Rosa creates a hypnotic and sensual thriller that takes us from Tangier to Patmos, from Mountain View to Istanbul, and makes us reflect on the times of extreme violence in which we currently live.
"A disciple of Jorge Luis Borges and Paul Bowles, Rodrigo Rey Rosa is a storyteller without a country or traditions, distinguished by an exemplary austerity in his writing." - Miguel Mora
