  • Overview

    Un policial filosófico inquietante sobre los actos de elección humana.

    Un joven doctor en ciencias, con un pasado de militancia revolucionaria, es convocado por sus antiguos camaradas para cumplir una "misión de sangre" que puede cambiar el destino de las elecciones presidenciales en la transición de una dictadura militar a la democracia. La misión lo obliga a interrumpir un reporte científico sobre un experimento de neurociencias que probaría que el libre albedrío no existe. Este informe se entrelaza poco a poco con los dilemas que debe enfrentar el protagonista al convivir con su víctima, con las interferencias y perturbaciones imprevistas del amor y con el plan que concibe con la paciencia de un ajedrecista.

    Guillermo Martínez expande con maestría inigualable el género del "policial filosófico", tal como había hecho con sello propio en Crímenes imperceptibles, Los crímenes de Alicia y La muerte lenta de Luciana B. En un cruce deslumbrante de diferentes cosmovisiones, pone en juego un asombroso registro de lenguajes que van del literario al científico, pasando por el religioso, el filosófico y el político.

    Con ecos de Las manos sucias, de Jean-Paul Sartre, y de Cosmos, de Witold Gombrowicz, Un crimen dialéctico propone una reflexión inquietante sobre los actos de elección humana, desde los más nimios hasta los más trascendentes, y plantea una pregunta cifrada desde el pasado revolucionario que se proyecta hasta nuestro presente.


    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    An unsettling philosophical thriller about the choices human beings make.

    A young scientist with a past in revolutionary activism is summoned by former comrades to carry out a "blood mission" that could alter the outcome of a presidential election during the transition from military dictatorship to democracy. The mission forces him to interrupt a scientific report on a neuroscience experiment that would prove free will does not exist. As the report unfolds, it becomes intertwined with the dilemmas the protagonist faces while living alongside his intended victim, the unexpected disruptions and complications of love, and the carefully crafted plan he develops with the patience of a chess player.

    Guillermo Martínez masterfully expands the genre of the "philosophical crime novel," as he previously did in Crímenes imperceptibles, Los crímenes de Alicia, and La muerte lenta de Luciana B. Through a dazzling convergence of different worldviews, he employs an extraordinary range of languages that spans the literary and scientific, as well as the religious, philosophical, and political.

    Echoing Dirty Hands by Jean-Paul Sartre and Cosmos by Witold Gombrowicz, Un crimen dialéctico offers a thought-provoking reflection on human choice, from the most trivial decisions to the most consequential, while posing an encoded question rooted in the revolutionary past that resonates powerfully in the present.
