Synopsis "Grandes Miradas (in Spanish)"

Un juez se niega a colaborar con un gobierno corrupto y esta decisión lo lleva a una espiral de persecusión, violencia y venganza que recorre la historia personal y colectiva de los personajes. Ambientada en el Perú de finales del siglo XX, Grandes miradas recrea en clave novelesca la descomposición moral a la que puede llegar un país controlado por la maquinaria panóptica del poder, pero también, el coraje y la dignidad de quienes se rebelan contra un sistema envilecido.

"El libro está escrito con gran economía, en una prosa rápida y arrolladora, que mezcla descripciones, diálogos, reflexiones y monólogos en una misma frase, y se compone de episodios ceñidos, breves como viñetas, que recuerdan a veces los crucigramas que eran las novelas de John Dos Passos". (Mario Vargas Llosa)
