Un abuelo polaco cuenta por primera vez la historia secreta del n???mero que lleva tatuado en el antebrazo. Un pianista serbio a???ora su identidad prohibida. Un joven ind???gena maya est??? desgarrado entre sus estudios, sus obligaciones familiares y su amor por la poes???a. Una hippie israel??? anhela respuestas y experiencias alucin???genas en Antigua Guatemala. Un viejo acad???mico reivindica la importancia del humor. Todos ellos, seducidos por algo que est??? m???s all??? de la raz???n, buscan lo hermoso y lo ef???mero a trav???s de la m???sica, las historias, la poes???a, lo er???tico, el humor o el silencio, mientras un narrador -profesor universitario y escritor guatemalteco tambi???n llamado Eduardo Halfon- empieza a rastrear las huellas de su personaje m???s enigm???tico: ???l mismo. The Polish Boxer covers a vast landscape of human experience while enfolding a search for origins: a grandson tries to make sense of his Polish grandfather's past and the story behind his numbered tattoo; a Serbian classical pianist longs for his forbidden heritage; a Mayan poet is torn between his studies and filial obligations; a striking young Israeli woman seeks answers in Central America; a university professor yearns for knowledge that he can't find in books and discovers something unexpected at a Mark Twain conference. Drawn to what lies beyond the range of reason, they all reach for the beautiful and fleeting, whether through humor, music, poetry, or unspoken words. Across his encounters with each of them, the narrator--a Guatemalan literature professor and writer named Eduardo Halfon--pursues his most enigmatic subject: himself.
