A taut, appealing, and often quite funny exploration of existential angst.—Kirkus ReviewsIn a nameless suburb in an equally nameless country, every house has a room reserved for the president. No one knows when or why this came to be. It’s simply how things are, and no one seems to question it except for one young boy.The room is kept clean and tidy, nobody talks about it and nobody is allowed to use it. It is for the president and no one else. But what if he doesn’t come? And what if he does? As events unfold, the reader is kept in the dark about what’s really going on. So much so, in fact, that we begin to wonder if even the narrator can be trusted...Ricardo Romero has been compared to Franz Kafka and Italo Calvino, and we see why in this eerie, meditative novel narrated by a shy young boy who seems to be very good at lying about the truth. Following in the footsteps of Julio Cortázar and a certain literary tradition of sinister rooms (such as Dr Jekyll’s laboratory), The President’s Room is a mysterious tale based on the suspicion that a house is never just one single home.

Die Geschichte eines Mordes. Der junge Polizist Pampa Asiain und sein Kollege Andrés Parra gehören zu der einsamen Polizeiwache in Monge, in der unendlichen Weite der argentinischen Steppe, wo anscheinend nichts passiert. Bis Pampa eines Tages per Telefon alarmiert wird, um nach Fischwilderern zu suchen – und den Körper einer jungen Frau findet, der an einem Baum in der Nähe des Sees aufgehängt ist. Pampa beschließt, zunächst niemandem davon zu erzählen, und harrt zwei Nächte in eisiger Kälte bei der Leiche aus. Er wartet, beobachtet. Der Mörder kehrt tatsächlich zurück, um die Leiche wegzubringen.Was ist wirklich mit Gretel passiert? Welche Rolle spielen Esteban, ihr Jugendfreund, und dessen Großmutter, die alte Schuldirektorin? Wie ist Pampa selbst, mit seinen Erinnerungen an die von Gewalt geprägte Kindheit, in das Geschehen verwickelt?Erzählt aus der Perspektive aller Beteiligten, entwickelt sich eine schillernde, zutiefst menschliche Geschichte, in der die Grenzen zwischen Gut und Böse, Wahnsinn und Realität, Tod und Leben verwischen und die kalte, geheimnisvolle Landschaft eine Hauptrolle spielt.

There is no cellar. All neighborhood houses are free of cellars. It is prohibited from a serious era. They say that the basements have witnessed terrible matters in the past, so it was decided that more of them would not be built. For old houses, from the previous periods of prevention, their cellar has been closed. Although they are large homes, they are cheap and easy to buy. People now do not like to live in these homes. It is understandable. Who may like to live over a room that does not see the light? A long time before the basements were banned, the president''s rooms began to be built. It is present in all homes; Or at least all the houses are our dignity. It is not present in the buildings in the city center. These buildings lose the privileges of the president''s room because they are not present in them. I don''t know well what these privileges are. I also don''t know if my parents know her, but no one is about to exist. Every house in our neighborhood has a president''s room. However, the president never came to visit us. The issue is not that we are waiting for it, in fact, we forget most of the time that this room is here. We forget, most time.
