Book Description
An original, high-caliber thriller, in which Chile’s main port is the ashen witness to lives lost before succumbing once again to the flames. Perhaps this time for good. Pyromancy, the new novel by Gonzalo López Pardo Valparaíso always burns. There has been much speculation about the intentionality of those disasters, without pointing the finger at anyone in particular, although arsonists and drug traffickers are named; so far their presence is a ghostly one. In Piromancy, López Pardo delves into the nooks and crannies of that story and, despite the fear, points to the culprits, believe it or not. López Pardo’s writing presents new airs within genre literature, with a special interest in unraveling forgotten stories and the magic of the end of the world. His references include Borges, Rulfo and Coloane. He also declares his admiration for the anime genius Hayao Miyazaki.
