Casa de furia

It is April 1970 and the imposing Caicedo house, located in one of the most distinguished neighborhoods of Bogotá, is preparing to celebrate the wedding anniversary of the family's patriarchs: Alma Santacruz and Magistrate Nacho Caicedo. The day and the festivities advance, at the same time that a parade of various characters - who enter and leave the place - intertwine their stories and seal their destinies in life, pleasure and death. With dizzying pace and explosive prose, Evelio Rosero returns with a bizarre tragicomedy that exudes doses of black humor and drama, and makes a lapidary portrait of a society accustomed to partying to the rhythm of its passions while catastrophe unleashes. Casa de furia is a story that removes foundations and immerses the reader in fundamental questions about Colombia, the human condition and the origin of violence.
