  <default_description>Aguilar returns home after a short business trip only to find that his wife, Agustina, has gone crazy. Having no idea what could have happened during his absence, and hoping to help her overcome this crisis, he begins to investigate, what he discovers are deep and disturbing facts hidden in the past of the woman he loves.   &lt;P&gt;Delirio is a story of love and madness, mysteries and secrets in the midst of the breakdown of Colombian society. The author shows an uncommon narrative energy, in which the suspense is held until a hopeful end that closes a beautiful novel. Wonderfully constructed, magnificently narrated and brilliantly developed.   &lt;P&gt;Description in Spanish: Un hombre regresa a casa despu&#233;s de un corto viaje de negocios y encuentra que su esposa ha enloquecido completamente. No tiene idea de qu&#233; le pudo haber ocurrido durante los tres d&#237;as de  su ausencia, y con el fin de ayudarla a salir de la crisis empieza a investigar, s&#243;lo para descubrir lo poco que sabe sobre las profundas perturbaciones escondidas en el pasado de la mujer que ama.     &lt;P&gt;Narrada con talento y emoci&#243;n, la historia principal de esta novela se fragmenta en otras que se anudan a trav&#233;s de personajes llenos de matices. La autora muestra en esta obra una energ&#237;a narrativa fuera de lo com&#250;n, en donde el suspenso se mantiene hasta un final esperanzador que cierra una hermosa novela, bien construida, mejor contada y brillantemente desarrollada.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Written in the manner of (and in homage to) Saramago, this book takes 40 or so pages for one to get acclimated to the lack of quotation marks, the shifting of four narrative voices, and the changing tenses.  Then, <em>Delirium</em> grips.  Stay with it.  It can be read on many levels: an allegory of Columbia...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46506585">more...</a>]]></body>

La propuesta narrativa de <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q=Laura Restrepo" title="Laura Restrepo">Laura Restrepo</a> es algo que no habia visto ni experimentado nunca. Domina tan bien el idioma que logra burlarse de él descaradamente sin necesidad de distorsionar la historia - es más, mientras intentamos acoplarnos a la narrativa de Restrepo y comprendemos el d...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24840391">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Este libro fue una muy agradable sorpresa.  Hacía tiempo que no leía una novela en español que me gustara tanto.  Tiene ese sabor particular de una historia meramente latinoamericana, pero es diferente y está contada de una manera muy original.  ]]></body>
