ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
On November 18, 1978, more than nine hundred members of the Peoples Temple church died in a rural complex in a remote location in the Guyanese jungle, following their leader, Reverend Jim Jones.
Based on this true and terrifying event, this novel recovers the story and reinvents it through the voice of a single narrator who shifts between different perspectives drawing on real and fictional characters, on truths that are more symbolic than historical, and on questions rather than answers about the failed dream that was Jonestown.
Narrated as if it were a liturgy, a trance, or a nightmare, in this novel the characters seem forever trapped in that terrible, circular moment in which reality is confused with fiction, the solid with the ghostly, and condemnation with redemption.
