        Alto en el cielo (High in the Sky)

        by Juan Pablo Bertazza

        Katka Fůrstová arrives in the Argentine capital in order to locate a great emblem of Prague culture that was trafficked, in the midst of the Nazi rise, by a group of initiates into Jewish mysticism. The mission, which takes her to one of the most central and secret corners of the city, mutates almost as much as her spirits as she absorbs the strange codes of Buenos Aires life. Revealing, poetic and fun, this lucid prequel to Síndrome Praga (Prague Syndrome) brings together the Barolo and the Palacio de Aguas Corrientes with neighborhood grills, gothic novels by Gustav Meyrink and the euphoria of popular music. With its unusual foreignness, Alto en el cielo (High in the Sky) achieves one of the goals of every novel: the power to resignify, both the plot of its previous novel, as well as the cultural ties with Central Europe, the condition of Buenos Aires as an inexhaustible literary metropolis made of irony and talent, always busy digesting so many years of cyclical repetitions such as those that, according to legend, mark the return of the Golem.
