- Summary
- In Pleasures, Mario Bellatin interweaves fiction and poetry, mysticism and corporeality, death and the pristine. Both visceral and surreal, Pleasures explores a world inhabited by death, a spotless world dominated by liquids, where cleanness reigns supreme. Narrative threads emerge from the sea of images a young philosopher in search of a sacred dog, Pedagogue Boris and Teacher Virginia, in charge of a school that children attend to die, a tour guide who steals from her clients, a paraplegic dog trainer devoured by his subjects. In its depths, Pleasures investigates the necessity to write and the possibility of a new form of writing that can redeem this world. With his masterful touch, Bellatin builds a literary universe that is both connected to his previous work and radically original.
