Cumare

Cumare is a novel by Peruvian writer, Alejandro Sánchez-Aizcorbe. One of the most refined Latin American writers, Sánchez-Aizcorbe delivers his most recent work: a metaphor of the current global and political reality. Cumare depicts a journey to an exotic island where Willy de la Cruz takes us on a rabelaisian adventure full of sensuality and geopolitical constructs. Cumare confronts us with urgent questions: Can a planet of finite resources grow indefinitely? Are we facing a violent reduction of population? Willy de la Cruz has an answer for every question. "Willy de la Cruz —el hipersensible personaje principal de esta impactante novela— poeta y periodista peruano, alcohólico, diabético, cibererotómano, bolchevique y ladrón, recala en Cumare, una isla de ensueño enclavada en el mero Caribe, que reproduce jubilosamente todas las maravillas y peligros de paraíso para ofrecerlos a la clase turística más exclusiva del mundo." —Cesáreo Martínez
