In 'The Days of the Plague,' Edmundo Paz Soldán immerses us in a prison microcosm where resignation, faith in a pagan goddess, and a devastating plague intertwine the destinies of prisoners and guards. The choral novel breaks with classical narrative, establishing Paz Soldán as a unique voice in contemporary Latin American literature. A profound reflection on the human condition in an oppressive and desolate environment.
José Edmundo Paz-Soldán Ávila is a Bolivian writer. His work is a prominent example of the Latin American literary movement known as McOndo, in which the magical realism of previous Latin American authors is supplanted by modern realism, often with a technological focus. His work has won several awards. He has lived in the United States since 1991, and has taught literature at Cornell University since 1997.
