Do You Get Bloated With Mono

The fog Führer

With a long history of cultural journalism, Luis Freire (Lima, 1945) only in recent years has begun to publish a series of novels, with which he has won several literary competitions: from The chronicler who returned fire (1992) to sulfuric Dog ( 2009). The editorial Peisa just reprinted one of those works, The fog Führer ( 2010), with which Freire won the Federico Villarreal National Novel.

Two parallel stories are told in this book: Hitler several employees (including a cook and an astrologer) and his flight to America in the fall of the Nazi era; other is a group of teenagers (children of those immigrants) in the 70 Chaclacayo. The adventures of the young (his discovery of love and sex) are in the midst of strange seances in which the ghost of Hitler himself denounced the deflowering of a young Aryan, because of either a Peruvian (the protagonist narrator .)

Freire's greatest achievement is the fresh humor that both stories are narrated, noting with irony the nonsense of these two generations of admirers of Hitler. But it is precisely the excessive zeal for the fun of it loses a fog The Führer, leading the author to leave much unfinished history teenage love as the announced changes in the character, to become a writer.
