Rendition As Books Los siete locos (Los siete locos #1)
El entusiasmo y la atracción de Roberto Arlt por los experimentos cientÃficos y mecánicos forma parte de su pasion creadora.Del ambiente de la calle, que tan bien conocia el escritor, surgieron sus mejores paginas.
De su amistad con rufianes, falsificadores y pistoleros salen personaje como los de Los Siete Locos. En esta obra encontramos una especie de " mundo al revés": un espacio donde los personajes transgreden los valores establecidos, invierten las formas y se liberan de una sociedad que los segrega.
La propuesta es delirante y subversiva, pues planean una sociedad autoritaria, humillante y perversa. Una gran carcajada, una mueca grotesca frente a una sociedad en crisis, pesimista y frustrada.

A group of criminals, sociopaths, and man-babies, inspired by the KKK, decide to take over the Argentinian government using false propaganda, replacing the government with industry-based society that is run by slave labor and forced prostitution. A brutal absurdist tale whose characters recognize that those they are following are madmen, but follow them anyway. This fever dream of an early 20th century mind eerily prescient of 2016 America.Roberto Arlt was much ahead of his time His gemstone may appear to be rough and uncut but it shines from the inside.Seven Madmen is a story of the desperate revolutionary struggleWho is going to make the social revolution if its not the swindlers, the wretched, the murderers, the cheats, all the scum that suffer here below without the slightest sign of hope? Or do you reckon its the penpushers and the shopkeepers who are going to make the revolution?And to arrange a revolution there must be a
from julio cortázar's 1981 introduction: from the tangled skein of misanthropy, megalomiania, miserabilismo, masochism, faustian drive, schopenhauerian negativity, and a bergsonian leap toward a dionysian dynamic (plus, of course, nietzsche); from that voluntary hell in permanent rebellion, drenched in a longing for open skies, earthly paradises, flights into the absolute; from that anarchism in search of fascist or nihilistic praxis, the rejection of proletariat filth and bourgeoisie filth
I picked this book up because Arlts was a name that I had heard many times. I am leaving a bit disappointed though. Honestly, the first half of this book was so forgettable. It dragged, big time. The main character is so off-putting, and I wasn't really sad about any of the difficulties that he was encountering. The second half raised this from a 2-star to a 3-star book for me. It's interesting how the narration slips in and out of inner monologue and almost stream of consciousness-style
It is available in English translation.
