«De Pe a Pa (o de Pekín a París)» is the novel by Luisa Futoransky, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (128 pages, in Spanish).
The protagonist, Laura Kaplansky, is an Argentine with a vocation for writing who lives in Paris after having resided in China and Japan. Between humour and self-parody, the novel portrays her geographical and emotional instability, her precarious settlement in the city and her amorous quarrel with an African man, turned into a metaphor for a displaced soul. The narrative combines realistic sketch with avant-garde wink, verbal joke and collage.
The novel was a finalist for the III Herralde Novel Prize and belongs to the Narrativas hispánicas collection, number 36.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction who appreciate self-parodic humour and a bittersweet look at identity and exile.
