«Hilo de cometa» is the short novel by Israel Centeno that includes the story «Retrato de George Dyer», published by Editorial Periférica in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The work narrates the rites of passage of a Venezuelan adolescent who clings to his personal myths —cinema, initiatory sex, motorcycles, the sea— while his father, a progressive military man, is tortured under a Latin American dictatorship. The volume is completed with «Retrato de George Dyer», an unpublished short novel about love between siblings, exile and strangeness, inspired by Francis Bacon's painting of the same name.
The book belongs to the Biblioteca portátil collection, number 15, from the publisher Periférica, and was published in 2007.
Recommended for readers interested in contemporary Latin American narrative and in stories that combine personal memory with political and social violence.
