Cat
£8.35
As tense as a thriller as vivid as an undercover documentary Matias Nespolos bold & brilliant first novel takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride through a place of crime & deprivation. Set in Buenos Aires at the time of Argentinas financial crash & seen through the eyes of twenty-year-old Gringo it tells the story of two boys on the cusp of adulthood who have no choice but to join the gang warfare that rules their community. At least Gringos friend Chueco thinks they have no choice. Hes determined to prove himself hard enough to get into El Jetitas gang but smart enough to remain his own man. Gringo is more intelligent. He knows that gangs dont work like that: you obey the leader or else. As the two get drawn ever deeper into a pitched battle between El Jetita & his rival Charly over control of the barrios drugs & prostitution Gringo sees a life of love & loss pass before his eyes. A few days before he was joking with Chueco about killing cats. Now hes fighting to save his skin. Written in the street-slang of the slums & full of fantastic characters from the sympathetic Gringo to the ruthless gang leader El Jetita or the grotesque bar owner Fat Farias this is one of those novels that is about one place & every place. While its depiction of Buenos Aires rings vibrantly true in every detail the barrio could be any place of urban deprivation where young men are pushed into a violence that ultimately will destroy them. ...
