Thus begins a mad race through an underground, nocturnal So Paulo among rock bands with eccentric names, feline reincarnations of Vita Sackville-West, ex-revolutionaries turned junkies, gay Pietas, echoes of Afro-Brazilian religions, and intimations of AIDS . . .Constructed like a mystery, the novel unravels over a week, evoking a decadent and contaminated atmosphere in which the journalist's own search for meaning finds its expression in the elusive Dulce Veiga, who constantly appears to him as if in a dream, her arm pointing heavenward. Whatever Happened to Dulce Veiga? is a descent into the underworld of contemporary megalopolises where, like the inside of a huge TV, life intermingles with bits of music, film clips, and soap opera characters in a crazy and macabre dance, moving toward a possible catharsis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51935170756896,"sku":"NEW0292705018","price":36.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/whatever-happened-to-dulce-veiga-a-b-novel-texas-pan-american-series-0292705018","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
