Una aventura política tan absurda como brillante, donde el humor y la tragedia argentina viajan hasta el fin del mundo. Nuevas ediciones de dos obras fundamentales para redescubrir a uno de los grandes narradores argentinos.Al final me salio una novela de aventuras politicas en Africa, ambientada en plena guerra de Malvinas. El personaje central es un consul argentino que se empieza a preguntar que haria el general San Martin en su lugar. Es el primero de mis libros con verdaderos personajes femeninos y tiene, ademas, un grupo de locos africanos que quieren hacer una revolucion del desorden. El pais lo invente y no tiene ni mar: es la miseria total. A ese pais sin futuro le traspuse la realidad argentina. Y la idea que seguimos teniendo de Africa como el fin del mundo se une con ese otro fin del mundo que son las Malvinas". Osvaldo Soriano"Soriano era capaz de describir desde una revolucion hasta un partido de futbol con la belleza y vividez de un poema de Allen Ginsberg". Salman Rushdie"Mi admiracion por Soriano aumento todavia mas cuando lei A sus plantas rendido un leon, por la voltereta que pega respecto de sus libros anteriores. Ese pais africano, esa revolucion hecha por monos salvajes y ese consul fracasado resumen un monton de caracteristicas nuestras. Los argentinos nos creemos muy escepticos, pero llegado el momento somos unos locos apasionados, capaces de remontarnos de la indiferencia absoluta al invento de nuevas ilusiones. Creo que esa es una caracteristica muy argentina y Soriano encontro la manera perfecta de contarla". Ana Maria Shua
