Descripción
«When does love end? How can we know exactly when it will expire? After a relationship of more than a decade, Sofía and Rímini separate. At thirty, Rímini devotes himself to his work as a translator while trying to maintain more or less long-lasting relationships with other women. However, little by little, he falls into apathy, torn between literature and cocaine, subject to the capricious reappearances of Sofía, who, driven by an inexhaustible passion, prevents him from ending their story. The Past is not only a love story, it is also a horror novel. Or a gothic love story, as the author himself describes it, about two ghosts in love who are condemned to drive each other mad. A tragicomedy that is at times hilarious and at times disturbing. A work that flows with elegance thanks to a prose as exquisite and frenetic as the emotional journey of its protagonist. The critics have said… «A masterful novel about excessive love.» Enrique Vila-Matas «The emergence of Alan Pauls is the best thing that could have happened to Argentine literature since the star of Manuel Puig.» Ricardo Piglia»-Amazon.com, translated by cataloger
