Belletristik/Erzählende Literatur
Beschreibung
A contemporary classic from one of Latin America's most exciting young writers
'A stunning vibrant maximalist whirlwind of a novel. Oloixarac's wit and ambition are evident on every page' Hari Kunzru
Buenos Aires. The mysterious narrator, a student at the School of Philosophy, stalks a middle-aged professor, desperate to reveal that she alone understands his theories. Unable to earn his affection, she instead seduces a former guerilla and toys with him, blurring the lines between prey and predator. At the same university, bored student Kamtchowsky and her boyfriend Pabst's intellectual and sexual misadventures take them through the underground scene of Buenos Aires as they dabble in ketamine, group sex, video games and pornography. And in 1917 Africa, a Dutch anthropologist named Johan van Vliet theorises the development of beast into man, and humanity's longstanding flirtation with beastly acts.
Climaxing with an Internet hack that catalogues historical violence, devastation and atrocity throughout the centuries, Savage Theories is a kaleidoscopic collage that is spellbinding, strange and ground-breaking.
'An exuberant blend of political satire and sexual picaresque. This book rewards total immersion: Come for the inevitable Borges allusions, stay for the wild ride' New York Times
Rezensionen
s creative force is ferocious, comprehensive, tidal. Her debut novel formulates one of the most thoroughgoing theories of the way we live now
<i>Savage Theories</i> presents a deep-focus tableau wherein theory and praxis, subject and object, past and present share a single stage in an ongoing, immemorial drama. Its kaleidoscopic vision of a densely layered life-world illuminates the sheer scope of existence. Oloixarac'

s prose: discursive, surprising and off-kilter-like the characters themselves, it reveals a ceaseless appetite for understanding and belonging
Oloixarac's brilliant, dextrous, debut novel, is a twisty tale of academia, lust, and culture. The author's ability to incorporate diverse elements, including 1970s Argentinian sex comedies, early 20th-century psychological theory, Elton John and Thomas Hobbes singing in bed, makes for singular and humorous experience. Perhaps best of all is Oloixarac'

[A] transgressive novel of revolution, desire, and academia . . . <i>Savage Theories</i> compels with its energetic characters, and the seamless blend of desire and theorizing is contagious on both fronts
This debut novel announces a huge, rambunctious talent, with its hilarious and ribald glimpse of intellectual and sexual politics in a post-post revolutionary Argentina
)... A unique mixture of the carnal and cerebral, and teeming with diverting references,
<i>Savage Theories</i> is more fun than daunting... this earlier novel recalls Mikhail Bulgakov's
<i>The Master and Margarita</i>. While perhaps richer for those well versed in the relevant politics, both are nonetheless a wild ride for those who are not.
Sharply satirical, with echoes of Jorge Luis Borges and Roberto Bolaño, <i> Savage Theories</i> ( <i>Las teorías salvajes</i>, 2008) sends up left-wing politics and academia ("the lettered elite who actually took all this nonsense seriously"

Clearly one of the first Latin American classics of the twenty-first century
s strange technological frontier...readers willing to indulge this careening carousel of a novel will be rewarded with an unexpectedly prescient experience
In this dazzling, frantic tour de force, Argentine author Oloixarac traces several intertwining threads. She also manages to resurrect ghosts from Argentina's Dirty War and dive headfirst into the twenty-first century'

<i>Savage Theories</i> is a novel of ideas, exploring the violent nature of humans . . . this is the type of book you read when you want great writing and to learn something about the world
A wild treatise ... it is easy to see why <i>Savage Theories</i> has been causing quite a buzz for almost two decades
While there are echoes of Borges and Bolaño here, the synthesis of ideas and the manic intelligence are wholly new. Brilliant, original, and very fun to read
s chameleonic style and playful ventriloquism are masterfully captured by translator Kesey.
A work of dizzying ambition, there are traces of Milan Kundera in Oloixarac's desire to master political turmoil through the prism of philosophy. In <i>Savage Theories</i>' dark propulsion towards ever more scabrous ground, there is also something of Anthony Burgess's <i>A Clockwork Orange</i>. The most pleasure is to be found in Oloixarac's meanderings - a cockroach musing on its death, a Levi advertisement featuring a poem for the disappeared. Oloixarac'
