 Parallel plots reveal the stories of Ricardo Urrutia, a young man living in Mexico City whose father has recently died, and Elías, an orphaned writer (sans surname) living in the tranquil coastal town of Las Rémoras. Both are having trouble with unattainable women: Ricardo with Laila, the girl next door, and Elías with Roberta, a prostitute at the local brothel who grants him everything but exclusivity. Between both potential pairs lies Inès. In the first story line, she’s a maid with bad timing; in the second, a brothel manager.
One of the most remarkable books of contemporary Mexican literature, The Obstacles is the story of young writers coming of age in a world dominated entirely by their own fictions. It tells, in alternating chapters, the stories of two teenagers, Ricardo and Elias, who are characters in each others' novels.Blurring our notions of reality and fiction, Eloy Urroz takes the reader into a world where characters invent characters and challenge their creators. And the book's conclusion--in which a surprising connection between Ricardo and Elias is revealed--shows that not even fiction can be controlled in a world of such incredible unpredictability.
