One of the most remarkable books of contemporary Mexican
literature, The Obstacles is the story of young writers coming of
age in a world dominated entirely by their own fictions. It tells,
in alternating chapters, the stories of two teenagers, Ricardo and
Elias, who are characters in each others' novels.Blurring our
notions of reality and fiction, Eloy Urroz takes the reader into a
world where characters invent characters and challenge their
creators. And the book's conclusion -- in which a surprising
connection between Ricardo and Elias is revealed -- shows that not
even fiction can be controlled in a world of such incredible
unpredictability.
