description

  • "Using satire and dark humor, the spirit of a murdered woman narrates an alternate reality where Spain is part of United States and people fear genetic engineering."
  • "The rich live in gated communities, the poor wherever they can, in fear of genetic engineers who are testing neuroprotein K666, which might conquer death itself."
  • "Narrated by the ghost of a murdered woman, "A Pretty Face" is set in the Madrid of Reig's previous novel, "Blood on the Saddle". It's the recent past reinvented so that it seems like the future: the oil has run out; the Spanish Communist Party has been overthrown by a US Army invasion; Spain is now part of the USA and Anglo is the official language."
