by Kike Ferrari

La revelación literaria argentina según The Wall Street Journal. Que de lejos parecen moscas es una novela negra explosiva que se ha convertido en un fenómeno de culto, por un escrito tan talentoso como inesperado. El señor Machi es el perfecto reflejo del éxito y del desprecio. Dueño de un pequeño imperio en Argentina, hizo su fortuna bajo la dictadura militar y luego la afianzó bajo los dos primeros gobiernos de la democracia casándose con una mujer de doble apellido, hija de un terrateniente. Lo que no le impide rodearse de bellas mujeres que obedecen a todos sus caprichos. Tiene un BMW, una colección de trescientas corbatas y diez millones de dólares en el banco. La cocaína y la «pastilla azul» le permiten distraerse de las quejas de su esposa por sus infidelidades y de las debilidades de sus hijos, tan distintos a él, pero sobre todo lo ayudan a ignorar a sus muchos enemigos, a quienes él considera insectos «que de lejos parecen moscas». Hasta que un día, encuentra un cadáver en el maletero de su BMW, atado con las esposas rosas de peluche que usa con sus amantes. Y entonces empieza otra historia. Con esta novela explosiva y original, Kike Ferrari llamó la atención de la prensa internacional y conquistó a algunos de los mejores editores del mundo. Un auténtico puñetazo en la mandíbula de todos los lectores. Críticas... «Kike Ferrari es tan de verdad que parece mentira. Tan honesto que parece un farsante. Escribe desde un sitio que ya no existe, con buen juego de piernas y pegada certera.»Carlos Zanón «Que de lejos parecen moscas es muy sólida, fluye perfectamente. Y además está escrita con esta idea de que la novela negra es la nueva novela social del siglo XX.»Paco Ignacio Taibo II «Sus textos se nutren de violencia y tragedia para conseguir transmitir esa extrema sensación que se advierte cuando las cosas no tienen solución. Un escritor a seguir.»Benito Garrido, Culturamas «Ferrari es un tipo que lleva las ideas por adentro y por afuera. No las esconde. No las mezquina. Nunca las niega. De hecho, se las tatúa en la piel, para evitar traicionarse en un descuido.»Carlos Salem «Leer a Kike Ferrari y escucharlo leer en vivo es presenciar un recital de rocanrol por su potencia narrativa y el lirismo crudo y duro de sus textos.»Leo Oyola «La novela, construida mediante saltos en el tiempo y llena de hombres de negocios repulsivos, mujeres acomodadas que prefieren unos cuernos a perder el dinero de sus maridos y matones sin remordimientos, es un ataque frontal a la actual democracia argentina.»Paula Corroto, Público
