ANALYSIS
Iparraguirre's work is part of the new tradition of speculative fiction writers emerging in Peru. His work touches upon Lovecraftian themes about the indifference of the universe, which is true and undeniable given its cruelty and stupidity, as well as anthropocene, psychedelic super-drugs, and mutated bodies. His work is renowned for its theoretical precision and density, as well as its powerful but often hidden connection to Peruvian society.
