The Seven Madmen

Erdosain, the protagonist, faces a downward spiral after losing his job and his wife, leading him through the chaotic streets of Buenos Aires. He encounters a group of conspirators led by the enigmatic Astrologer, who proposes radical and disturbing solutions to societal issues, including mass enslavement and industrial-scale prostitution. As Erdosain grapples with existential questions about the soul, the novel blends dark humor and social critique, drawing inspiration from Dostoyevsky while anticipating modern influences like Pynchon and comic book narratives.
