Los escorpiones / The Scorpions

Bol

"Scorpions is a novel of novels, a titanic and mysterious narrative work. The protagonists, Sara and Thomas, are involved in the fabric of a conspiracy theory led by political and economical powers that intend to control individuals through hypnosis and subliminal messages in books, videogames, and music, inducing them to commit suicide. Both Sara and Thomas have emotional imbalances, and while an unclassifiable and powerful relationship is developing between them, they decide to investigate this sect, named after one of the very few animal species that prefer to kill themselves rather than continue to suffer. From Italy in the 1920s, across the United States deep south in the eighties, to present-day Madrid, Bilbao, a remote village in rural Spain, and New York, this is a story about existential angst, loneliness, and the need to believe in something, anything, to find meaning in life"--
