«La cruz invertida» is the novel by Marcos Aguinis published by Planeta in hardback (352 pages, in Spanish).
Set in an unspecified Latin American country, the novel offers a social and political critique considered prophetic for anticipating the dictatorships of the seventies. Its chapters take titles from biblical books and mix letters, irony, and grotesque traits to show human complexity and nostalgia for the continent's lost unity.
It won the Planeta Prize in 1970; this edition dates from 1988. The work falls within contemporary and historical fiction.
For readers of contemporary fiction with an interest in Latin American history and politics.
