Revulsion: Thomas Bernhard in San Salvador

The 1997 novel that put Horacio Castellanos Moya on the map, now published for the first time in English

An expatriate professor, Vega, returns from exile in Canada to El Salvador for his motherâ€™s funeral. A sensitive idealist and an aggrieved motor mouth, he sits at a bar with the author, Castellanos Moya, from five to seven in the evening, telling his tale and ranting against everything his country has to offer. Written in a single paragraph and alive with a fury as astringent as the wrath of Thomas Bernhard, RevulsionÂ was first published in 1997 and earned its author death threats. Roberto Bolano called RevulsionÂ Castellanos Moyaâ€™s darkest book and perhaps his best: â€œA parody of certain works by Bernhard and the kind of book that makes you laugh out loud.â€
