Chronicle During Books Los siete locos (Los siete locos #1)

El entusiasmo y la atracción de Roberto Arlt por los experimentos científicos 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.

For most people here in England mention Argentina and they think of the Falklands War. Either that or the football rivalry between the two countries which lasted over four decades. But to those of us who study the culture of Latin America more closely Argentina represents a vibrant literary scene. It has produced several notable writers among them Borges, Cortazar, Adolfo Bioy Casares, Macedonio FernandezThe blurb describes the author as the father of the Argentine novel yet there are echoes of

This is an absolutely insane little novel which took me forever to finish. Rightly compared to a surrealist mishmash of Dostoevsky's Crime, Demons and also Doblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz.Three stars for the fact that this is only the first half of Arlt's book and for reasons I can't understand, NYRB only published/commissioned the first part. The ending is weak and confusing because there is a whole second book called The Flamethrowers which is not so much a sequel as a continuation of The Seven

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

The fact that Argentinian literature in the early part of the twentieth century was in large part a bourgeoisie or petite bourgeoisie pursuit would seem to go some way to explaining the marginality of Roberto Arlt, a writer who generally lived what was by all accounts a somewhat desperate existence maintaining subsistence by the skin of his teeth. Both of his siblings died young in the slum conditions in which his family lived on the margins of Buenos Aires society. This was a rapidly expanding

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

This is a novel about a kind of schlemiel who loses his job after he embezzled from the firm he works for. Then his wife leaves him. Cast adrift by the unlucky turns his life has taken, he falls in with a ragtag, unwholesome group of men led by The Astrologer. They plan to overthrow the existing societal and governmental order and replace it with a new industrialization run by the enslavement of the masses. Unemployment will be a thing of the past, and the fiscal needs of the new state will be
