"Fast-paced and entrancing psychological thriller"--"Booklist" "A portrait etched in acid of a Buenos Aires society menaced by economic and political crisis. Without value judgement but with light irony, Bizzio reveals the ugly secrets of a family, seen through the eyes of his naive squatter. The imagery is often blinding and the dialogue pitch-perfect."--"Le Temps" Jose Maria, a construction worker, is in love with Rosa, a maid in an exclusive Buenos Aires mansion. Subjected to constant humiliation by his foreman, Jose Maria kills him, then hides on an empty floor in the mansion. He silently observes the decadent behavior of the owners and watches Rosa in her most intimate moments. Jose Maria is also privy to more humiliating experiences--he watches as Rosa is raped by the young son of the family, and so he must kill again. A metaphor for the decline of a social class, a country, and the
resentment that spreads like a plague penetrating to the core of
its people, "Rage" is also a tale of love and suspense that raises
the tension with each successive page until it unavoidably shifts
toward an intimate, shattering catastrophe. Humor, misfortune,
shrewd social commentary, and thrilling erotic fantasy come
together, offering the reader an inside vision of contemporary
Argentina.
