La Casa De Cartón

Written in lyrical prose, this short, avant-garde Peruvian novel narrates the experiences of an adolescent during a summer at a resort. With a tone between decadent and dreamlike, this work-almost devoid of narrative plot-is a master of irony and consists of observations that the adolescent makes during his daily walk and descriptions of the houses, streets, and residents of the resort. *Escrita en prosa lìrica, esta breve, vanguardista novela peruana narra las experiencias de un adolescente durante un verano en un balneario. Con un tono entre decadentista y onìrico, esta obra-casi carente de trama narrativa-es una maestra de ironìa y consiste en las observaciones del adolescente durante sus paseos diarios y las descripciones de las casas, las calles y los habitantes del balneario.*
