“Artificial respiration” by Ricardo Piglia

Artificial respiration“Artificial Respiration is not only about the only memorable book published during the period of the military dictatorship (the original edition is from 1980), but also about a splendid fiction that becomes a mirror of history, about a novel that, using the structure of the crime novel -for Piglia this is one of the fundamental genres of contemporary literature-, can be read as an inquiry into the enigmas of convulsive times, of dark characters.”
