“I will be king and you, you will be my queen. We can be heroes, just for a day.” DAVID BOWIE. That afternoon some neighbors saw the children running down the street, towards the international highway. They seemed happy, effusive. An escape could be the anticipated response to an expulsion. It is said that a year later they stopped looking for them, also that they were kidnapped by a foreign sect. Much is said, although less and less. So much was said, but not a word about the various abuses committed against these children before they disappeared. 'The Expelled' is a unique novel that oscillates between intuition and rationality. Three unforgettable characters have lost their way in a labyrinth managed by a guardian of the spaces, a teacher, a DJ who plays Bowie music and a waiter, all employees of a structure designed to make life a circular order. Defined by critics as one of the most groundbreaking storytellers in current literature, in 'The Expelled’ Edgar Borges achieves the great work of his creative universe.
