Book Description

Enter Benjamin Prado. Like a detective filing a police report, Prado tackles his witnesses one by one. The novel begins just after Israel's disappearance as each remaining member of the group gives the author (who inserts himself as a character in the novel) his "testimony" of the events leading up to the mysterious night in question. Slowly, the life of Israel Lacassa is revealed. The son of a cruel and demanding father, he is left to sort out his young life when his father dies. Bent on total self destruction, Israel begins his own nihilistic trip toward a certain but unknowable end. Nevertheless, he is a person who, even in his absence, maintains a powerful, almost eerie, hold on the three disciples he's left behind. Cagey and unreliable, they are unable-or unwilling-to fully reconstruct and solve the mystery, leaving the reader, in the end, to separate truth from imagination and decide the conclusion of their bizarre tale.

Filled with punchy tough-guy dialogue and clever cultural and literary references from Courtney Love to Nietzsche to Fred Astaire, Never Shake Hands with a Left-Handed Gunman is an electrifying novel from a talented young author who is leading the way in the new Spanish fiction genre of cultural realism.
