But to try to get at the complete meaning of the day's events, the narrator must first take us on an international tour--from the docks of Buenos Aires, to Barcelona, until we check in at the gloomy Hotel Salgado with the narrator's transient friend Felix in Moscow. From scraps of information left behind on postcards and hotel stationery, the narrator hopes to reconstruct Felix's stay there. With flights of imagination, he conjures up the hotel's labyrinthine hallways, Masha, the captive hotel manager, and the city's public markets, filled with piles of broken televisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach character carries within them a secret that they don't quite understand--a stash of foreign money hidden in the pages of a book, a wasteland at the edge of the city, a mysterious shaft of light in the sky. \u003ci\u003eThe Incompletes\u003c\/i\u003e is a novel disturbed by this half-knowledge, haunted by the fact that any complete version of events is always just outside our reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Letter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948830034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sergio Chejfec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36672713195676,"sku":"9781948830034","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c6d73d43-b978-4016-9c52-8bcf3971b6a6.jpg?v=1603928228","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-incompletes-9781948830034","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
