Publisher Description
Terciopelo violento es una de las novelas mas sensuales que haya producido la narrativa mexicana. Escrita en una prosa elegante, este libro cuenta la historia de un seductor, Julian Caceres, a quien se presume muerto despues de que su auto es encontrado abandonado en el puente Golden Gate de San Francisco. Juvenal Acosta narra a la vez la historia de las amantes de Caceres, quienes tratan de investigar que le ha sucedido al misterioso don Juan y que papel ha jugado en esta desaparicion una mujer enigmatica, la Condesa, mezcla de vampiresa y femme fatale. Ambientada en la ciudad de Mexico, San Francisco y Nueva Orleans, esta historia nos transporta sutil y perturbadoramente a un universo sensual donde el sexo se convierte en una manera de acceder a lugares desconocidos dentro de nosotros mismos. Con un lenguaje poetico y brutal, esta novela se inscribe exitosamente en la riesgosa tradicion literaria del Marques de Sade y Juan Garcia Ponce. Oscura novela de misterio y erotismo, o novela gotica del grotesco latinoamericano, Terciopelo violento marca el inicio de una nueva manera de hacer literatura en nuestro continente.
