The Way Out by Ricardo Piglia
Emilio Renzi, literary alter ego of legendary Argentine author Ricardo Piglia, returns in The Way Out, an academic thriller that relentlessly questions the lengths we go to hide our own truths and to uncover the secrets of others.“An offbeat take on the campus novel, full of sex, intrigue, and marginalia”
* Kirkus Reviews *“With his trademark mixture of autobiography and fiction, reminiscent of Ben Lerner, Sheila Heti, and Rachel Cusk, Piglia explores themes similar to those of Don DeLillo’s Mao II (1991), regarding the connection between art and violence, in this thoughtful, slight, and mesmeric crime novel by a giant of innovative literature.”
-- Alexander Moran * Booklist *“Deceptively casual, and considerably bigger in sum than its pieces might suggest… Ida's path, and Renzi's, and Munk's prove surprisingly (and rather disturbingly) relevant in the present-day United States. A fine and interesting work.”
-- M. A. Orthofer * The Complete Review *Ricardo Piglia (Buenos Aires, 1940–2017), professor emeritus of Princeton University, is unanimously considered a classic of contemporary Spanish-language literature.
