A great-great-grandfather who brought thousands of artifacts from Peru and Bolivia to Europe in the 19th century – and nearly discovered Machu Picchu; a father with a double life; and at the center of it all: a narrator who shares the author’s name. Gabriela Wiener’s autofictional work is a wild ride through past and present, crossing temporal and continental borders. Family archaeology, anti-colonial critique and body
politics – unflinching, sensual and radically honest. »A stunning novel – sharp, witty and profound all at once.« [Le Monde]
