Recenzii
Livewire ... the novel keeps us rapt with the winningly devil-may-care energy brought to its slantwise take on the fallout from Argentina's bloody political history
Oloixarac's wit and ambition are evident on every page. By comparison, most other contemporary fiction seems a little dull and simple-minded
A work of dizzying ambition, there are traces of Milan Kundera in Oloixarac's desire to master political turmoil through the prism of philosophy. In Savage Theories' dark propulsion towards ever more scabrous ground, there is also something of Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange. The most pleasure is to be found in Oloixarac's meanderings - a cockroach musing on its death, a Levi advertisement featuring a poem for the disappeared. Oloixarac's chameleonic style and playful ventriloquism are masterfully captured by translator Kesey.
[An] exuberant blend of political satire and sexual picaresque. This book rewards total immersion: Come for the inevitable Borges allusions, stay for the wild ride
Sharply satirical, with echoes of Jorge Luis Borges and Roberto Bolaño, Savage Theories (Las teorías salvajes, 2008) sends up left-wing politics and academia ("the lettered elite who actually took all this nonsense seriously")... A unique mixture of the carnal and cerebral, and teeming with diverting references, Savage Theories is more fun than daunting... this earlier novel recalls Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita. While perhaps richer for those well versed in the relevant politics, both are nonetheless a wild ride for those who are not.
Philosophy gets sexy in Pola Oloixarac's Savage Theories
While there are echoes of Borges and Bolaño here, the synthesis of ideas and the manic intelligence are wholly new. Brilliant, original, and very fun to read
A radical, bitingly funny debut novel offers a veritable hurricane of ideas on topics from technology to anthropology and features parallel arcs, one involving a student obsessed with her professor and the other about a couple cruising the Buenos Aires underground
While unflinchingly maximalist throughout, Oloixarac's rich prose hits its heights through characterisation that offers a rich tapestry of unique individuals
Pola Oloixarac is one of the great writers of the Internet, the only country larger than Argentina
A wild treatise ... it is easy to see why Savage Theories has been causing quite a buzz for almost two decades
This debut novel announces a huge, rambunctious talent, with its hilarious and ribald glimpse of intellectual and sexual politics in a post-post revolutionary Argentina
San Francisco's Pola Oloixarac, named one of Granta's Best Young Spanish Novelists, takes the reader on a surreal journey through her native Argentina in Savage Theories
Savage Theories presents a deep-focus tableau wherein theory and praxis, subject and object, past and present share a single stage in an ongoing, immemorial drama. Its kaleidoscopic vision of a densely layered life-world illuminates the sheer scope of existence. Oloixarac's creative force is ferocious, comprehensive, tidal. Her debut novel formulates one of the most thoroughgoing theories of the way we live now
Oloixarac's brilliant, dextrous, debut novel, is a twisty tale of academia, lust, and culture. The author's ability to incorporate diverse elements, including 1970s Argentinian sex comedies, early 20th-century psychological theory, Elton John and Thomas Hobbes singing in bed, makes for singular and humorous experience. Perhaps best of all is Oloixarac's prose: discursive, surprising and off-kilter-like the characters themselves, it reveals a ceaseless appetite for understanding and belonging
[A] transgressive novel of revolution, desire, and academia . . . Savage Theories compels with its energetic characters, and the seamless blend of desire and theorizing is contagious on both fronts
In this dazzling, frantic tour de force, Argentine author Oloixarac traces several intertwining threads. She also manages to resurrect ghosts from Argentina's Dirty War and dive headfirst into the twenty-first century's strange technological frontier...readers willing to indulge this careening carousel of a novel will be rewarded with an unexpectedly prescient experience
Clearly one of the first Latin American classics of the twenty-first century
A prodigious, masterful novel
A strange, bewildering debut novel, an eccentric baroque fantasy
Savage Theories is a novel of ideas, exploring the violent nature of humans . . . this is the type of book you read when you want great writing and to learn something about the world
Pola Oloixarac's prose is the great event of the new Argentinian narrative. Her novel is unforgettable, philosophical and very serene
Monstrously clever and terribly funny. More than a debut, this book is one many of us would spend our lives trying to write
A provocative, brave, controversial novel
