August 9, 2016novel | pb | 616 pgs5.5" x 8.5" 978-1-940953-38-0 “A choral, savage, and ruthless work, considered to be the great Argentine social novel.” —Europa Press Winner of the 2013 Dashiell Hammett Award Translated with support from the PEN/Heim Translation Fund Grant  Like True Detective through the lenses of William Faulkner and John Dos Passos, Gesell Dome is a mosaic of misery, a page-turner that will keep you enthralled until its shocking conclusion. This incisive, unflinching exposé of the inequities of contemporary life weaves its way through dozens of sordid storylines and characters, including an elementary school abuse scandal, a dark Nazi past, corrupt politicians, and shady real-estate moguls. An exquisitely crafted novel by Argentina’s foremost noir writer, Gesell Dome reveals the seedy underbelly of a popular resort town tensely awaiting the return of tourist season.  (Read an Excerpt) Translated from the Spanish by Andrea G.
