El gran surubí
Pedro Mairal

NOVEL | 2012/2021 | 136 pages

A great and dystopian nightmare

In an Argentine nightmare, the country is left hungry and without any meat. Amidst the chaos, the Army recruits the men who are of age. Ramón Paz, who is going through a ferocious divorce on top of the country's crisis, is one of them. Isolated on the edge of the Paraná, alone and savage, those who are recruited have the mission of fishing for surubís to feed the population. As they go through all kinds of violence and aberrations, a fish of gigantic proportions wanders the waters and becomes the most coveted trophy.

Originally published in 2012 as a saga in the magazine Orsai, this new edition of El gran surubí, beautifully illustrated by Pedro Strukelj, once again brings an unmissable book to readers, a true masterpiece of contemporary Argentine literature.

Illustrated by Pedro Strukelj
