A compact but kaleidoscopic fable of Venezuela from a stunning new voice in the
magical realism tradition.His body might have been hewn from a tree trunk; his
heart would last for a hundred years. And, like a tree, he was one of those men
who die standing up.A chance meeting in the local pharmacy transforms the life
of lonely, illiterate Octavio. He begins reading lessons and finds love and
happiness for the very first time. But Octavio's destiny lies elsewhere, as he
will discover on a journey into the Venezuelan rainforest.Shortlisted for the
Goncourt first novel award, this short but epic fable is both a hymn to
Venezuela and the magical story of an extraordinary hero.
