La festa de Gerald

La festa de Gerald

Coover, Robert

Gerald and his wife invite their friends to a party, which begins conventionally -or so it seems-, but very soon turns into a night that no one will forget. Suddenly the corpse of a woman is discovered. Screams, tears, telephone, police. Start the investigation. Or better: the party. The guests arrive and disappear, they get the wrong door or the wrong couple; the crazed policemen beat up the witnesses; more corpses appear, the protagonist desperately tries to isolate himself in a quiet corner with a young woman. Masquerades, circus, lubricious delusions, orgiastic rites, funeral carnival: a wild and uncontrolled party where reality and hallucinations merge in an icy parody of life.
