Los sordos se inicia con dos desapariciones: la de un niño sordo en un pueblo del interior guatemalteco y la de Clara, hija de un banquero rico y «amable tirano».¿Hay alguna conexión entre ambos hechos?¿Qué papel juegan Javier, amante de Clara y abogado de la familia, los guardaespaldas de Clara y de su padre, y los médicos que dirigen un hospital de prácticas sospechosas?¿Es posible aún alguna forma de amor y de justicia en medio de la violencia? Un apasionante thriller que es también un retrato implacable de la Guatemala actual. «Rey Rosa es un maestro consumado, el mejor de mi generación.» Roberto Bolaño ENGLISH DESCRIPTION It begins with two disappearances: that of a deaf boy from a small town in Guatemala, and of Clara, the daughter of a rich banker and "kindly tyrant." Is there a connection between the disappearances? What roles do Clara's lover and family lawyer, her bodyguards, and the doctors in a shady hospital play in it? Can any form of love and justice exist amidst violence? Los sordos is a absorbing thriller and a ruthless portrait of today's Guatemala. "Rey Rosa is a consummate master, the best of my generation." Roberto Bolaño

About the Author:
Rodrigo Rey Rosa nació en Guatemala en 1958. Después de abandonar la carrera de Medicina en su país, residió en Nueva York (donde estudió Cine) y en Tánger. En 1980, conoció a Paul Bowles, quien tradujo sus tres primeras obras al inglés. En su obra, traducida a varios idiomas, destacan los libros de relatos El cuchillo del mendigo (1985), El agua quieta (1989), Cárcel de árboles (1991), Lo que soñó Sebastián (1994, cuya adaptación cinematográfica se presentó en el Festival de Sundance del 2004), Ningún lugar sagrado (1998) y Otro zoo (2005), reunidos, junto a algunos relatos inéditos, en el volumen 1986. Cuentos completos (Alfaguara, 2014); sus novelas El cojo bueno (Alfaguara, 1995), Que me maten si... (1996), Piedras encantadas (2001) y Caballeriza (2006) -reunidas en Imitación de Guatemala. Cuatro novelas breves (Alfaguara, 2013)-, El material humano (2009, Alfaguara, 2017), Severina (Alfaguara, 2011) y Los sordos (Alfaguara, 2012), además de La orilla africana (1999) y El tren a Travancore (2002), que conforman junto a la novela corta «Lo que soñó Sebastián» el volumen recopilatorio Tres novelas exóticas (Alfaguara, 2015). Ha traducido a Paul Bowles, Norman Lewis, Paul Léautaud y François Augiéras. Su obra le ha valido el reconocimiento unánime de la crítica internacional y, entre otros, el Premio Nacional de Literatura de Guatemala Miguel Ángel Asturias en el 2004, el Premio Siglo XXI a la mejor novela extranjera del año otorgado a Los sordos por la Asociación China de Literatura Extranjera en el 2013 y el Premio Iberoamericano de las Letras José Donoso en el 2015.
