Entropy

A daring novel by the author of Paraphilias in Entropia, Alexandre Marques Rodrigues once again demonstrates his mastery of narrative techniques: in a daring novel, the author entangles himself in the complexities of his characters, in a plot that shifts focus from the idea, realized or not, of travel, of searching (or is it escape?) for himself, or of his mother's buried body. All accomplished, Alexandre Marques Rodrigues goes far beyond that. The interplay of identities between characters—which disturbs the reader as much as it forces them to investigate, decipher, map, and confirm them on every page—is a very serious matter, an occasion in which literature captures the dissolved spirit of a time without the slightest sound of the writer's engineering.
