Beschreibung

<p><b>Welcome to the gutters of 1970s Paris - and the transgressive, darkly comic world of</b> <i><b>City of Rats</b></i><b>.</b></p><p>When pet rat Gouri finds himself locked out of his owner's apartment, he has no choice but to strike out alone onto the pavements of Paris. But what begins as a strange and marvellous bedtime story - Gouri and his new friend Raka selling flour-coated worms to pigeons for spare change - soon spirals into an exhilarating whirlwind of murder, sex, unionised hamsters, courtroom drama, and, finally, Armageddon.</p><p>Told through a series of letters from Gouri to Argentinian playwright Copi, <i>City of Rats</i> channels Copi's lifelong fascination with society's outcasts - queer people, immigrants, the homeless - into a fiercely imaginative, unflinchingly provocative tale of a world hurtling into madness.</p><p><b>'The greatest miniaturist of our age... Copi was a man of the Baroque, a Shakespeare, magically reincarnated in gay Paris' Cesar Aira</b></p><p><b>'Decadent, poised, unpredictable, violent, galling, and marvellous' <i>Charlie Hebdo</i></b></p><p>TRANSLATED BY KIT SCHLUTER; WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY CESAR AIRA</p>
