No Place For Heroes: A Novel Overview
bFrom one of the most accomplished writers to emerge from Latin America, iNo Place for Heroes /iis a darkly comic novel about a mother and son who return to Buenos Aires in search of her former lover, whom she met during Argentina’s Dirty War. /bbrbrDuring Argentina’s “Dirty War” of the late ’70s and early ’80s, Lorenza and Ramon, two passionate militants opposing Videla’s dictatorship, met and fell in love. Now, Lorenza and her son, Mateo, have come to Buenos Aires to find Ramon, Mateo’s father. Holed up in the same hotel room, mother and son share a common goal, yet are worlds apart on how they perceive it. For Lorenza, who came of age in the political ferment of the ’60s, it is intertwined with her past ideological and emotional anchors (or were they illusions?), while her postmodernist son, a child of the ’90s who couldn’t care less about politics or ideology, is looking for his actual father—not the idea of a father, but the Ramon of flesh and blood. brbrAnything goes as this volatile pair battle it out: hilarious misunderstandings, unsettling cruelty, and even a temptation to murder. In the end, they begin to come to a more truthful understanding of each other and their human condition. brbriNo Place for Heroes/i is an addition to that long tradition of the eternal odd couple—in works ranging from iWaiting for Godot/i to iKiss of the Spider Woman/i—waiting for their fortunes to change, written by one of the most talented and internationally celebrated authors at work today.
