Summary:
"Es abril de 1970 y la imponente casa de los Caicedo, ubicada en uno de los barrios más distinguidos de Bogotá, se prepara para celebrar el aniversario de boda de los patriarcas de la familia: Alma Santacruz y el magistrado Nacho Caicedo. El día y los festejos avanzan, al mismo tiempo que un desfile de variados personajes--que entran y salen del lugar--entrelazan sus historias y sellan sus destinos en la vida, el placer y la muerte. Con ritmo vertiginoso y prosa explosiva, Evelio Rosero regresa con una rocambolesca tragicomedia que destila dosis de humor negro y de drama, y hace un retrato lapidario de una sociedad acostumbrada a seguir de fiesta al ritmo de sus pasiones mientras se desata la catástrofe. Casa de furia es una historia que remueve cimientos y sumerge al lector en preguntas fundamentales sobre Colombia, la condición humana y el origen de la violencia." -- Amazon.
"It is April 1970 and the imposing Caicedo house, located in one of the most distinguished neighborhoods of Bogot̀, is preparing to celebrate the wedding anniversary of the patriarchs of the family: Alma Santacruz and Judge Nacho Caicedo. The day and the festivities advance, at the same time as a parade of varied characters--who enter and leave the place--intertwine their stories and seal their destinies in life, pleasure and death.With dizzying pace and explosive prose, Evelio Rosero returns With a bizarre tragicomedy that distills doses of black humor and drama, and makes a lapidary portrait of a society accustomed to continuing to party to the rhythm of its passions while the catastrophe is unleashed, House of Fury is a story that removes foundations and submerges the reader on fundamental questions about Colombia, the human condition and the origin of violence." -- Amazon.
