He Who Searches (Como en la Guerra)

The Dalkey Archive Press, Elmwood Park, Illinois, 1988. Reprint. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Illustrated card cover with black and ochre coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. "The story moves from Barcelona to Mexico to Buenos Aires, but above all it is about Argentina: its recent history, its 30,000 missing children, its stunned middle class, its writers in exile. He Who Searches is multifaceted in structure, combining narrative references to old-fashioned storytelling, realism, psychoanalysis, feminism, politics, and suspense, all of them tinged with a patina of eroticism that reflects a feminist perspective. Ultimately the disguises of the plot -- transvestism, transsexualism, differing sexual points of view --become pieces in a puzzle that can be taken apart to create other figures, other puzzles. It ends with its narrator back in Buenos Aires: "He who searches, finds.". -- from rear panel blurb. Translated by Helen Lane. Creasing to the book corners with rubbing of book edges and panels.
