Die Enthüllung
Die Enthüllung: Roman | Mario Vargas Llosa
11 posts | 6 read | 5 to read
Enrique ist glücklich verheiratet, beruflich erfolgreich und hat ein Riesenproblem: Er wird erpresst. Von Garro, dem Besitzer eines Boulevardblatts, der belastende Fotos hat und Enrique zwingen will, in die strauchelnde Zeitschrift zu investieren. Enrique sucht Rat bei Luciano, seinem alten Weggefährten und Anwalt, verliert jedoch im entscheidenden Moment die Nerven und bietet dem Erpresser offen die Stirn. Der bringt darauf die Fotos und wird kurze Zeit später tot aufgefunden, brutal ermordet. Enrique, geschäftlich wie moralisch ruiniert, glaubt, das sei das Ende. Doch es ist erst der Anfang. Denn während die Polizei ihn der Bluttat verdächtigt und er in undurchsichtige Machenschaften gerät, die aus den allerhöchsten Regierungskreise gesteuert scheinen, kommen sich seine und Lucianos Frau mehr als nur freundschaftlich nahe... »Die Enthüllung« ist eine brisante Spannungsgeschichte, ein erotisches Kammerspiel und ein zeitpolitischer Schlüsselroman – voller Überraschungen, Wendungen, Abgründe und Verheißungen. Mario Vargas Llosa hat ein so kunstreiches wie lebensechtes Panorama der menschlichen Verhältnisse geschaffen, ein Werk von staunenswerter Tiefenschärfe und bleibender Gültigkeit.

Peruvian novel about wealth and power. Multiple perspectives merge into one story.

This is a bail. It‘s boring and the translation is probably making it worse. Lots of repetitive language.

Hilarious, boundary-pushing, like always. Peruvian businessman blackmailed over photos of his orgy; meanwhile his wife is having an affair with her best friend.

#HeyJune Day 21: This has a very strong #ISawHerStandingThere vibe with the girl next door feel of the prompt. Llosa captured my heart in Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter (which I reviewed here: https://gatheringbooks.org/2016/10/08/saturday-reads-16/ ) - making this title here one of my most anticipated reads this year. So happy to score a review copy from my fave book distributor - and hardcover too!

Best thing about being a book blogger? Getting free books in the mail. Look at all these lovelies: Julian Barnes, Mario Vargas Llosa, Jane Harper, Ian Rankin, the new Bill Clinton/James Patterson novel. And it came with a thoughtful umbrella too, because you know, 🌧. Love my favourite distributor here in Singapore. #BookHaul #BookMail - Free books are the absolute best!
