Description:

The most important work of fiction by a major Latin America author.

On Heroes and Tombs is woven around a violent crime: the scion of a prominent Argentinian family, Alejandra, shoots her father and burns herself alive over his corpse. The story shifts between perspectives to reveal the lives of those closest to her, telling of Martín, her troubled lover; Bruno, a writer who loved her mother; and Fernando, her father―who believes himself hunted by a secret, international organization of the blind.

Exploring the tumult of Buenos Aires in the 1950s, characters are illuminated against burning churches and corporate greed. An examination of Argentinian history and culture, it reveals the country at every level, leading its reader into a world of passion, philosophy, and paranoia.
