El vuelo de la reina
G.M. Camargo, el todopoderoso director de un diaroi de Buenos Aires, se obsesiona por Reina Remis, una periodista de talento a la que dobla en edad. Su soberbia le impide ver que los sentimientos ajenos no están bajo su dominio y esa ceguera lo sume en una historia de amor de la que saldrá transfigurado. A partir de esa intriga clásica, Tomás Eloy Martínez construye una novela irresistible sobre el deseo, el poder y la identidad. Casi todo lo que sucede, sucede dos veces, de un modo siempre más oscuro y desconcertante.La corrupción política y la impunidad en un país que se va viniendo abajo, y el creciente delirio erótico, van dibujando un friso cuyo final, imprevisible, arrastra a los lectores otra vez a la primera línea del libro, atrapados por una historia que se parece tanto a la vida.
