A rebellious Manuel Vilas, an early work brimming with fantasy and humour, whose narrator is a Kafkaesque figure butchered by pop culture.
We rediscover Manuel Vilas' first book of short stories, written in 1999 and 2000. Zeta is an unadulterated explosion of literature based on a murky mysticism that seeks to understand our deepest ills and what we are as a society. His writing is simultaneously magical, sublime and shocking. His existential, gothic world is filled with symbols, supernatural beings and talking domestic appliances. A very personal read: disturbing and caustic.
