Sobre este artículo
New York: E.P. Dutton -A Division of Elsevier-Dutton Publishing Company Inc., 1979. First Edition First Printing Stated . Hard Back. As New/Very Good. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2. 287 Pages in new condition. No defects of any sort noted. Dust jacket has some crumpling at the top spine area. Everything is what it seems: says the title page of Galatea.This paradox sets the key for a haunting fantasy that will remain in the reader's mind long after he has turned the final page. The novel's narrator is Martin Browning, a young musician. His wife, who is somehow involved in the arcane world of multi-national corporations, has mysteriously disappeared. Martin searches for her first in Spain, where he thinks he has caught a glimpse of her riding in the back seat of a car between two men. Then he follows her trail to the eastern slopes of the Andes. Accompanied by Juan, who may or may not be a real person, he travels toward the Second City the capital of the Anderson Valley Project, where he is sure he will find his wife. Once in the City he comes in contact with the Electric Whores, an astrologer who is also a werewolf, a deranged midget who serves as judge, and a sweet-smelling angelic messenger each revealing an aspect of this oddly distorted corporate society. A selection of England's prestigious New Fiction Society, Galateais a superior entertainment by a remarkably gifted young writer.
