Ricardo Piglia
Luis Scafati y Pablo de Santis
Graphic novel
«It’s an island in a bend of the river, inhabited by the English, the Irish, the Russians, and by people who have come from all over the world, persecuted by the authorities, threatened with death, politically exiled. All the different languages are mixed together there, and all their voices can be heard. Nobody arrives, and those that arrive don’t want to return. Because that’s where the dead seek refuge.»
A journalist follows the tracks of a complex thriller: a secret museum, the story of a machine that can create its own stories, a utopian island, fictions that mix together and which exist within other fictions. The Absent City by Ricardo Piglia is a narrative tour de force in which crime thrillers and fantasy literature mix wonderfully.
Luis Scafati and Pablo De Santis have been able to interpret this giddy story to create a unique work, a marvellous example of the graphic novel.
