Descripcion en espanol: Finalista Premio Herralde de Novela. En un lugar llamado Oreja de Perro un hombre intenta escribir una carta. Atras queda su historia familiar, la temprana muerte de su hijo Paulo, la ruptura de su matrimonio. Por delante, una intrincada ciudad andina, que fue destruida durante el terrorismo peruano en los anos 80, sera usada como simbolo de la pacificacion con el lanzamiento de un programa de asistencia social. El hombre, incapaz de escribir esa carta, vagabundea por un mundo con la sensacion de que debe resolver un enigma y no sabe por dónde comenzar. Description in English: Finalist Herralde Novel Award. Ivan Thays is a young author from Lima, and this is his most recent novel. It uses the aftermath of the brutality of the Shining Path conflict (in this case, in a small town in Ayacuho, a place called Oreja de Perro) to tell the story of a journalist who is experiencing unimaginable personal losses. It is a very sad story that is told with a great deal of tenderness. The novel is an introspective story in which the protagonist just lost his five-year-old son and walks towards the breakup of his marriage.
