The Head — Pedro Cabiya

Racked with guilt over a car accident that has left his wife Gloria horribly disfigured, Daniel is confronted at all moments by the call of the flesh and his duty as a husband. Enter Ezekiel, his insane brother, who has designed a machine that solves the mind-body dilemma with gruesome simplicity. A science fiction tale of rare intensity and biblical undertones, and a erotic novel all rolled into one. At times funny, sexy, disturbing and eye-opening... this is Cabiya at his very best. Published in English for the first time in a wonderful translation by Daniela Paiewonsky.
