Pressestimmen
Praise for Pola Oloixarac“What constitutes the originality of Oloixarac’s work is her representation of daily life, with a richness and color only hinted at by either Borges or Baudrillard. Her novels do more than allegorize the pursuit of knowledge or theorize the ontological status of the real in an age of unreality. Her multifaceted characters show something of what it’s like to inhabit a fleshy body in a world awash in representations—which is to say, our own world.”—Public BooksPraise for Dark Constellations “A slim allegory written with a chat forum’s acrid wit . . . [A] spot-on depiction of tech-industry misogyny.”—The Atlantic“Oloixarac toggles between severity and satire with Borgesian ease, yet her bleak visions of a society so easily conquered by a small number of amoral innovators is eerily plausible, and captured with an evocative lyricism.”—AV Club“An ambitiously expansive novel.”—Vulture “Rendered in beautiful English by Roy Kesey, whose translation reveals the complex layers of scientific, mystical, and technological vocabulary that Oloixarac so fearlessly wields. . . A wonderfully bizarre mix of scientific treatise, hallucinogenic history, and cyberpunk thriller.”—World Literature Today“Combining esoteric sciences, arts, technologies, cultures, philosophies and even lexicons with heightened, poetic and dreamlike scenes and descriptions, [Oloixarac] transports readers into a reality at once entirely extraordinary and all too familiar.”—Spine Magazine“Dark Constellations delivers exactly what you want in high-end science fiction—a deep thinker of a novel with a wide-eyed gusto for getting weird.”—Southwest Review “An enjoyable and enlightening read . . . readers are bound to close the book with an appreciation for Oloixarac’s erudition and skill.”—Asymptote Journal“Dark Constellations is a grand saga of the anthropocene fever dream, spanning numerous continents, centuries, and species. With the technophilic, psychedelic flair of Thomas Pynchon and William Gibson, Pola Oloixarac tacks up miles of red yarn between 19th-century explorers, Argentinian cryptographers, secluded island tribes, computational biologists, and more. A novel of high style and heavyweight ideas, Dark Constellations charts a sublime order through the ritualistic carnage of science. Also, sex.” —Tony Tulathimutte, author of Private Citizens “With Dark Constellations, Pola Oloixarac exceeds the high expectations she set with Savage Theories, her deliciously wicked debut. Whip-smart and gleefully irreverent, Oloixarac's new novel establishes her as Argentina's most ferocious literary export. Fusing sci-fi and slapstick, Dark Constellations goes where no American writer would dare to tread. If you thought satire was dead, you haven't been reading Pola Oloixarac.”—Adam Morris, author of American Messiahs: False Prophets of a Damned Nation “Dark Constellations has a daring and turbulent erudition. It’s a cyberpunk with the bright colors of Latin America.” —Carol Bensimon, author of We All Loved Cowboys “Intriguing and terrifying . . . [the] 19th century interludes that thread through the novel, a fever dream of sex and hallucinogenics and weird experiments, contrast beautifully against the straightlaced prose of Cassio and Piera’s story.” —Locus Magazine“This genre-defying novel blends science fiction with cyberpunk with naturalism to end up with something utterly original . . . Oloixarac is a massive, mysterious talent.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review “This wild anthropological ride blends political satire, psychedelic sexuality, and cyberpunk themes.” —Publisher's Weekly“Bracingly inventive . . . This esoteric, centuries-spanning approach brings to mind David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas and Darren Aronofsky’s 2006 film The Fountain, though Oloixarac’s novel is far stranger and more challenging than both.” —Full Stop“An imagination that stands apart.”—Three Percent (University of Rochester)“This novel skillfully marries cyberpunk themes and classic magical realist style . . . a must read for speculative fans who love variation in form as well as character.”—The Game of Nerds“One of the first classics of Spanish literature in the 21st century.” —El Mundo “A fascinating and bewildering dystopian and fantastic novel. The language couldn’t be more bold, brimming over with erotic metaphors and philosophical references.” —Der Spiegel “Pola Oloixarac seems to be one epistemological step ahead . . . An ingenious coming-of-age novel of the internet and a philosophical trip.” —Tagesspiegel "An imagination that stands apart." —Three Percent (University of Rochester) "Undeniably addictive . . . this exhilarating translation by Roy Kesey is out of this world." —Prairie Lights Books (Iowa City, Iowa) Praise for Pola Oloixarac “A stunning vibrant maximalist whirlwind of a novel. Oloixarac’s wit and ambition are evident on every page.” —Hari Kunzru, author of White Tears “[An] exuberant blend of political satire and sexual picaresque. This book rewards total immersion: Come for the inevitable Borges allusions, stay for the wild ride.” —The New York Times Book Review “Pola Oloixarac is one of the great writers of the Internet, the only country larger than Argentina.” —Joshua Cohen, author of Book of Numbers “This debut novel announces a huge, rambunctious talent, with its hilarious and ribald glimpse of intellectual and sexual politics in a post-post revolutionary Argentina.” —The Boston Globe

This is a difficult review to write because I am not sure where to begin. Before I continue with this review, I would like to add a disclaimer: I don’t think I fully “got†this book. I think I missed something crucial, or maybe I am just in too much of a cultural bubble to have been able to understand. But I did not enjoy this book.The concept intrigued me. The novel centers around the “quest for knowledge and control.†It covers themes of privacy, mass surveillance, and evolutionary concepts. The story is supposed to connect three different stories: one of a 19th century plant biologist, one of a boy named Cassio who grows up in the 90s and becomes a talented hacker, and one of a researcher named Peira, who works on a research group with Cassio in 2024. The result of these three stories is a project that allows the Argentinian government to track all of its citizens using censors that identify their DNA.The problem I have with this novel is in the disjointed narrative. It is just so hard to follow. The three stories are supposed to be interconnected, but it just doesn’t end up reading that way. It leaves the reader(or at least this reader) bewildered and confused. Another issue is in the flowery and overly sexual and descriptive narrative. The plot and message gets lost in the details of description, as well as the informational overload. I felt like I needed to have a more than mediocre understanding of anthropology and politics to be able to follow this novel. It seemed like it was written for a very specific reader, and I’m just not sure I was that reader. I recognize that this is a novel in translation, and perhaps some of the nuances were lost in the process of that translation; either that or perhaps I am just too culturally sheltered to be able to understand.I struggled to finish this book. I mean, I really slogged through it. I think that may have just been due to my own inability to understand, but if I had that problem I imagine others will as well.I would like to thank NetGalley for sending me an advance copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.This review was published on Goodreads.com by user Rachel-Claire.
I am not a stuffy or conservative person, but this is the kind of book that feels like emotional manipulation via pushing shock value while trying to mask it by engaging in intelligent wordplay. Just because someone can string a bunch of descriptive words together doesn't make them an author or an artist. Maybe this book got lost in translation (as many foreign language books that get translated for publication in other countries do...) but as I read it, it just felt I was being force fed someone else's word vomit. Pretentious and "brainy" but nothing of depth.
this is the latest addition to the fiction of lost worlds, filled with exotic fauna the envy of tat-too artists, caverns leading to primitive paradises with young sexually aggressive women and prose the author, j k Huysmans of the 19th century decadent movement would have appreciated:‘… Nunzia Lucrezia Damatida, in whose reddish hair was an ornament made of Scorpioniadie scintillans, a translucid scorpion with golden legs. Venetia d’Adda made an entrance: swathes of tulle in black and blue and green, a tall beehive hairdo, a shoulder-length mantilla bearing pieces of jewelry in the shape of fruits, beetles and tiny luminescent worms. Tartare mentioned, “Emperor Dom Joao and the unidentified women from the courtesan world who accompany him, each wearing a hairpiece of dried snakes, each with thin cold chains coiled around her arms. “ ‘told in three different time periods, the dark constellations of the jungles where plant life mutates with the insect world are transposed on to the dark constellations of the internet and the hackers who journey there with agendas of 21st century mutations of human and machine. told is the biography of the first forty years of cassio’s life from solitary hacker to part of a group of hackers on the dark web to working for tech companies, inventing a code capable of reading the dna of every living organism on the planet to befriending a visionary living in palaces in the jungles of brazil.young people soaring like comets, sharing world-weary pronouncements:“There was a time we were navigating unexplored areas in the dark, but we had instruments that were better than maps, and the owners of those spaces didn’t even know they existed as spaces, much less how to find the access tunnels. For us it was like taking a stroll. And every human rite of intelligence is based on the same thing, on bonfires in the darkness, because nobody ever really knows … but now, no matter where you go, the sun’s right there like some surgical lamp. … But the most interesting thing is that they’ve already decided that computers—and the software that is their blood—can perfectly well be combined with their own human bodies.â€there’s nothing new here. if you’re weary of the genre, skip this one. but if lost worlds and tech worlds sci-fi literature still grabs you, by all means read this. the real kick is oloixarac’s Savage Theories.
Unique and captivating, belongs in the same general grouping with Delillo's White Noise, R Power's Plowing the Dark, the scientific interests of Andrea Barrett, a touch of cyber-punk influence, Nicola Barker's odd and wondrous characters. Get to the end...it's not a long novel...and the inclination to start over again to put the pieces better together is rewarded in doing so. One of those works where the reader realizes that nothing is excess: images, themes, plot all tightly written together. A novel that invites itself to be taken seriously, but with weirdly hilarious satirical moments as well as the grotesque/absurd.
The basic premise of this book sounded delightful, exactly the type of original and unique storyline sure to fill a lazy weekend of reading. Wow was I ever wrong. This lacks cohesion, it's hard to follow and ultimately so convoluted as to become a chore to work through...and work is exactly what the reader must do to make sense of this.
