Meeting a beautiful hotel owner makes this escape better than he could have hoped.

Par José Emilio Pacheco. 2020
"In the 1960s, when this novel appeared, there was a fierce debate within the Latin American literary movement between the…
avant-garde methods of the nouveau roman and the traditional style of realist narration (defended by members of the boom). Pacheco, in 1967, delivered to the press |You Will Die in a Distant Land|, which sought to reconcile both fronts with a narrative that draws from both sources. A labyrinth of voices and narrative levels serve, in seven sections, to retrace the Jewish diaspora from the time of the Roman invasion of Judea under the command of Titus to the Nazi extermination camps. In the midst of that temporal ocean also emerges a probable Nazi scientist hiding out in Mexico City, who senses that a siege is being laid around him." -- Translation provided by NLSTidings of Peace
