Dios duerme en la piedra
by Mike Wilson
Description
A solitary transhumant travels with his horse through wild deserts in search of vengeance and redemption. He carries with him a rifle, pumpkin seeds, and a leather jug filled with water. Troubled by the dark traces of his former life, the hero of Dios duerme en la piedra wanders annihilating bandits and having chance encounters with apathetic nomads decimated by a ruthless itinerant sect. Although he wishes not to retrace his steps, the territory and these encounters will merge into a series of adventures, eventually plunging him into a vortex of ruin and recognition from which he can only escape with the advent of the end of times. In the vein of Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian or J. G. Ballard’s apocalyptic narratives, Mike Wilson unfolds in this hallucinatory novel a universe with a language that is entirely his own.
