�Lo absorbi� el fr�o, sus despe�aderos azules, un precipicio hondo, solemne, como de catedral�. En un lugar donde la neblina y el aguacero libran una batalla a muerte, Jerem�as busca sin tregua a su nieta.

�Lo absorbi� el fr�o, sus despe�aderos azules, un precipicio hondo, solemne, como de catedral�. En un lugar donde la neblina y el aguacero libran una batalla a muerte, Jerem�as busca sin tregua a su nieta. Pero toda amenaza con impedir el encuentro: la plaga de ratones muertos que inundan las calles, la inescrutable due�a del hotelucho donde se hospeda y su asistente enana, el albino siniestro que guarda un secreto, los ni�os que juegan f�tbol con cabezas, la marea de monjas que vaticinan el horror. Llena de s�mbolos on�ricos que resaltan el ambiente ominoso del lugar, En el lejero recrea ese terreno inh�spito de la violencia, el secuestro y la desaparici�n, donde el abismo siempre ser� insalvable. �La indescifrable, la m�s ins�lita y po�tica, enigm�tica novela con caracter�sticas neog�ticas publicada en Colombia a lo largo de toda su historia literaria. Nunca entenderemos cu�l es la naturaleza real de este pueblo sin nombre, dise�ado con neblina y v�rtigo�. -Umberto Senegal �Suave en su voz y feroz en su impacto�. -The Independent ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "The cold absorbed him: its blue cliffs, a steep precipice, solemn, like a cathedral." In a place where the fog and the rain battle each other to the death, Jerem�as searches tirelessly for his kidnapped granddaughter. He encounters nothing but obstacles: the plague of dead mice littering the streets, the inscrutable proprietress of the rundown hotel where he finds lodging and her midget assistant, the sinister albino who hides a secret, the children playing soccer with severed heads, the flock of nuns preaching doom. Replete with oneiric symbolism that underscores the ominous atmosphere of its setting, Far Far Away depicts an inhospitable landscape of violence, abductions and disappearances where the abyss is inexorable.
