Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. In The National Telepathy by Roque Larraquy, translated by Frank Wynne, telepathy and human connection is explored.
What We Say: “In 1933, the Peruvian Rubber Company ‘delivers’ 19 Indigenous people from the Amazon to businessman Amado Dam, intended for Argentina’s first Ethnographic Theme Park. Among the shipment is a sloth with the ability to create erotically explosive telepathic connections between people. So begins this shocking, bizarre, funny, and imaginative novel from one of the most original voices in contemporary Argentinian literature.” – Ella Marlow-Gilks
What They Say: “This truly magnificent novel exudes intelligence, humour, cynicism, cruelty.” – Ignacio Echevarría
Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones, and Barnes & Noble
