El Mas Violento Paraiso

This novel written in Spanish by costarrican novelist Alexander Obando offers a wide fragmented view of the universe in an impressive collage of genre fiction (sci-fi, erotica, terror, suspense) and erudite history and literary references. It has been described as David Mitchell s Cloud Atlas meets Burrough s Naked Lunch and Joyce s Ulyses. Literary critics purport it to be the first postmodern centralamerican novel.
