Marketing Information
In his extensive and brilliant literary career, Ariel Magnus often tackles crucial themes being debated in society from a marginal perspective. It's as if he has an antenna capable of capturing the zeitgeist, but with a certain lag that allows him to decode reality from the eccentric - in the sense of being outside the center - and, paradoxically, in a sharper, more forceful, and notably more uncomfortable manner. His style is recognized by the marks of humor, absurdity, polysemy, and logical contradictions.
