Que Viva la Musica!

Reseña del libro

Esta novela es un manuscrito de las memorias que ha terminado María del Carmen Huerta, una adolescente burguesa, miembre de la juventud perdida de Cali. Su monólogo, que tiene el ritmo vertiginoso de una catarata desbordada, es cómo, triste, delirante y tiene una fiebre de 103 grados. This is a novel of initiation. An invitation to a never-ending party where the host invites the world to go down the black hole of their chosen excess—in happiness. Caicedo’s oeuvre is considered among the most original works in Colombian literature. He was 25 when he committed suicide, the same day he received the first printed copy of ¡Que viva la música!, for which he is remembered to this day.English DescriptionThis is a novel of initiation.
