Shocking, erudite, and affecting, these twenty-odd short stories, "micro-novels," and vignettes span a vast territory, from Mexico City to Washington, D.C. to the late nineteenth-century Adriatic to the blood-soaked foothills of California''s gold-rush country, introducing an array of bewildering characters: a professor of Latin American literature who survives a tornado and, possibly, an orgy; an electrician confronting the hardest wiring job of his career; a hapless garbage man who dreams of life as a pirate; and a prodigiously talented Polish baritone waging musical war against his church.Hypothermiaexplores the perilous limits of love, language, and personality, the brutal gravity of cultural misunderstandings, and the coldly smirking will to self-destruction hiding within our irredeemably carnal lives.

Rom, 1599. Den italienske konstnären Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio och den spanske poeten Francisco de Quevedo ska snart spela en tennismatch på Piazza Nouva. Ingen av dem tycks riktig veta vad de har gett sig in på.

Första set, gem ett. En boll gjord av mänskligt hår susar över nätet och plötgligt befinner sig läsaren i Frankrike tillsammans med Anne Boleyns bödel. Första set, gem två. En glimt av ett skimmarande smycke runt Quevedos hals blir början på berättelsen om Hernan Cortes och katolska kyrkans brutala erövring av Mexico.

Allt eftersom berättandet pendlar mellan tennisbanan och världen bortom den, nystar Enrigue upp en besynnerlig historia om barockens Europa, koloniseringen av den nya världen, våld och modernitetens framfart.

Tiebreak är en storslagen allegori över det moderna Europa berättad genom en tennismatch som till lika delar är lekfull, oanständig och spännande.

Álvaro Enrigue (f. 1969) har jämförts med Roberto Bolaño, David Foster Wallace och Jorge Luis Borges. Han har skrivit ett flertal romaner och anses vara en av de viktigaste litterära röster i dagens Mexico. Tiebreak belönades 2013 med det prestigefulla Herraldepriset och har rönt stor internationell uppmärksamhet.

Ett drömlikt och förrädiskt ljus vilar över den flytande staden Tenochtitlán – dagens Mexico City. Här ska ett av historiens mest mytomspunna möten äga rum: det mellan conquistadoren Hernán Cortés och aztekrikets beryktade härskare Moctezuma. Det är den åttonde november 1519 och en stinkande trupp kastilianer bjuds in i det labyrintiska palats där mexicaimperiets högsta kast regerar över sitt vidsträckta territorium. Men bakom gästfriheten gror en misstanke: Hur kunde de släppas in så lätt, och hur ska de ta sig levande därifrån? Samtidigt sitter Moctezuma i sin kammare fullproppad av hallucinogena svampar och försöker få svar från gudarna.

Om imperier drömde du är en vild, hallucinatorisk omtolkning av den historiska dagen då två världar kolliderade. I Álvaro Enrigues roman, som bygger på lika delar gedigen research och kontrafaktisk fantasi, är rollerna omkastade. I denna hejdlösa satir styr slumpens krafter mer än något annat vem som går ur striden som segrare.

Álvaro Enrigue är en av Mexikos mest nyskapande och respekterade samtida författare. Sedan debuten 1996 har han gett ut sex romaner, tre novellsamlingar och en essäbok. Romanen Tiebreak blev hans internationella genombrott och hyllades av kritiker världen över. Álvaro Enrigue är bosatt i New York och har undervisat vid bland annat Princeton och Columbia University.

Hanna Nordenhök är författare och översättare från spanska. Hon har översatt en lång rad latinamerikanska författare för Tranan, däribland Fernanda Melchor, Samanta Schweblin och Gabriela Cabezón Cámara.
