Decades into the future Indonesia's crowded capital city is underwater. A mysterious novelist searches what remains of the metropolis for the story of an old infamous crime. He combs the streets for traces of Gaspar: private - eye - cum - criminal - mastermind who plotted a seemingly simple robbery of a jewelry store. Far from just unlocking riches however the heist unearths a series of interlinking conflicts that have haunted Gaspar since childhood. In this brilliant twist of genres this book combines noir with a laugh - out - loud detective and touches of surreal science fiction. The book's eclectic blend of allusions and narrative strategies opens new horizons for literary crime fiction while also painting a fresh postmodern portrait of Jakarta. In a city webbed by roadways and canals personal vendettas trace back to political crimes and social ills. First impressions can t be trusted meta - literary motorbikes possess free will and a senile witness might be a police detective's best bet at finding the true whodunnit if we are to believe that a single truth exists at all. It is a chess game in which your knight no longer moves in the shape of an L and Gaspar intends to win.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: 24 Hours With Gaspar\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Norgaard Lara\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Seagull Books London Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781803092041\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 184 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 5\/6\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Science Fiction","brand":"Norgaard Lara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49624374706481,"sku":"IN-G-9781803092041","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781803092041.jpg?v=1724944202","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781803092041-24-hours-with-gaspar","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
