About the book
Moving between past and present, La Grande centers around two related stories: that of Gutirrez, his sudden departure from Argentina 30 years before, and his equally mysterious return; and that of precisionism,' a literary movement founded by a rather dangerous fraud. Dozens of characters populate these storylines, including Nula, the wine salesman, ladies' man, and part-time philosopher; Luca, the woman he's lusted after for years; and Tomatis, a journalist whom Saer fans have encountered many times before.'
