Description
Insatisfecho con su trabajo como ingeniero, el protagonista de Basilisco se traslada a California, donde conoce a dos personas que cambiarán su vida: Katharina, una joven que acabará siendo su mujer, y John Dunbar, un trampero, veterano de la guerra de Secesión y pistolero ocasional que lleva muerto más de un siglo. Dunbar encarna lo más genuino del Lejano Oeste. Huraño y temido, se gano el sobrenombre de "Basilisco", y nos lleva de la mano por la fiebre del oro en Virginia City, por una expedición paleontológica y en su huida de una banda de asesinos. Mientras, el ingeniero desengañado, ya convertido en escritor, se adentra en las responsabilidades y frustraciones de la mediana edad. Basilisco se ordena así en una serie de capítulos autoconclusivos, alternado los que acontecen en el presente con los que tienen lugar un siglo atrás por los parajes de Nevada, Idaho y Montana, y proponiendo un diálogo entre realidad y ficción. Con un prosa pertrubadora y poderosa, Jon Bilbao transita la frontera entre los géneros, mezclando lo clásico con la cultura popular. Con la máscara de un western crepuscular, Basilisco pone en jaque nuestra realidad.
