En septiembre de 1933 desembarca en el puerto de Buenos Aires un cargamento con diecinueve indios oriundos de la Amazonia peruana. Es una entrega de la Peruvian Rubber Company para Amado Dam, miembro del selecto comit? encargado de la creaci?n del primer Parque Etnogr?fico del pa?s, un sitio destinado a exhibir ejemplares de las distintas razas humanas para deleite del p?blico visitante. Pero las cosas no salen seg?n lo planificado y, por falta de documentaci?n, los indios terminan ilegalmente recluidos en la casa de Dam, quien descubrir? que esconden un secreto tan fascinante como temerario: un artefacto de madera que contiene un perezoso en estado de hibernaci?n. C?mo este descubrimiento se convierte con el tiempo en un secreto de Estado bajo la direcci?n de la Comisi?n de Telepat?a Nacional?

Roque Larraquy, una de las voces m?s originales de la narrativa argentina contempor?nea, construye una novela hilarante y despiadadamente cr?tica en su dimensi?n pol?tica, en la que trabaja con el imaginario y los anhelos m?s secretos de una clase social que solo quiere perpetuarse en el poder.

In September 1933, the Peruvian Rubber Company delivers nineteen indigenous people from the Amazon to businessman Amado Dam, intended for Argentina's first Ethnographic Theme Park. Unexpected among the human cargo is an artefact harbouring a sloth with a fascinating yet terrifying secret: the ability to create erotically explosive telepathic connections between people. What ensues is a raucous satire of men's fear of women's bodies, of the illusion of logic in the structures of so-called civilisation, and the way class and race obscure identities when the observer is a man with power.

In The National Telepathy, Roque Larraquy, one of the most original voices in contemporary Argentinian literature, brings us a literary high-wire act, an over-the-top comic grotesque about atrocity. This shocking, bizarre, funny, imaginative novel lays all-too-bare the secret longings and not-so-secret machinations of a social class that will stop at nothing in order to stay on top.
