‘A stunning vibrant maximalist whirlwind of a novel. Oloixarac’s wit and ambition are evident on every page’ Hari KunzruBuenos Aires. The mysterious narrator, a student at the School of Philosophy, stalks a middle-aged professor, desperate to reveal that she alone understands his theories. Unable to earn his affection, she instead seduces a former guerilla and toys with him, blurring the lines between prey and predator. At the same university, bored student Kamtchowsky and her boyfriend Pabst’s intellectual and sexual misadventures take them through the underground scene of Buenos Aires as they dabble in ketamine, group sex, video games and pornography. And in 1917 Africa, a Dutch anthropologist named Johan van Vliet theorises the development of beast into man, and humanity’s longstanding flirtation with beastly acts.

Climaxing with an Internet hack that catalogues historical violence, devastation and atrocity throughout the centuries, Savage Theories is a kaleidoscopic collage that is spellbinding, strange and ground-breaking.

‘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’ New York Times
