    Caribisk lys og storbystemning, fattigdom, revolution og afro-caribisk religion udgør det brogede bagtæppe for historien om Argenis Luna, en ung og i egne øjne mislykket billedkunstner med psykotiske tendenser og et seriøst heroinmisbrug. Han er sendt til Cuba på et afvænningsophold af sin far, der er en tidligere revolutionshelt, og hvis parti nu er på vej mod regeringsmagten i Den Dominikanske Republik. I Cuba møder Argenis blandt andet den halvkorrupte læge Bengoa; Susana med de lækre bare tæer, der har studeret kunsthistorie, men gør rent i Argenis’ lejlighed; overboen Vantroi, en empatisk dragqueen, der lægger hus til Argenis’ kolde tyrker, da behandlingen slår fejl. Det lykkes Argenis at hustle sig hjem til Santo Domingo, blandt andet ved hjælp af sin gamle hippiefaster Niurka, der i modsætning til Argenis’ far fravalgte revolutionen og blev psykiater. I Santo Domingo må Argenis, mens han kæmper for at holde sig fra stofferne, konfrontere barndommens traumer og prøve at forstå sin fars generations revolutionære ambitioner i et forsøg på at komme videre som menneske og kunstner. ”… En vild og frigørende bog.” Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal

    Argenis Luna carga sobre los hombros el mundo entero. La figura gigantesca de su padre, un héroe de la guerrilla urbana dominicana cuyo éxito ha sido más mítico que real. La promesa trunca de su propia carrera de pintor. Los estragos de una adicción que lo define al menor asomo de responsabilidad o de culpa. Tras un viaje obligado a Cuba en pos de un tratamiento de desintoxicación, Argenis vuelve a una cruel Santo Domingo que lo espera con la misma rabia, las mismas contradicciones, la misma codicia que lleva a traicionar todos los sueños e ideales. Vástago de una revolución que devora a sus hijos, tendrá que sobrevivir la tensión doble que el desarraigo y la sed de pertenencia ejercen sin tregua sobre él. En su retrato descarnado del protagonista y su prosa inconfundiblemente caribeña, Rita Indiana demuestra por qué es una de las voces más atractivas de la literatura latinoamericana de hoy. Argenis Luna carries the entire world on his shoulders. The gigantic figure of his father, a hero of the Dominican urban guerrilla whose success has been more mythical than real. The truncated promise of his own career as a painter. The ravages of an addiction that defines the slightest hint of responsibility or guilt. After a forced trip to Cuba in search of a detoxification treatment, Argenis returns to a cruel Santo Domingo who awaits him with the same rage, the same contradictions, the same greed that leads to betraying all dreams and ideals. The child of a revolution that devours it's children, he will have to survive the double tension that uprooting and the thirst for belonging relentlessly exert on him. In her stark portrait of the protagonist and her unmistakably Caribbean prose, Rita Indiana demonstrates why she is one of the most attractive voices in Latin American literature today.

    Jazzy, intense, and witty, "Papi" is told in the voice of a little girl waiting in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, for her father to return from New York City to shower her with gifts and fame. When he arrives, (less like a prince charming and more like Jason from the "Friday the 13th" movies), dangerous, and completely unreliable, the child/narrator tries to understand her own cravings for fame, money, and security, and to reconcile her blind admiration for a father too "monstrous" for Santo Domingo, but too weak for his role as an international drug-dealer. Drawing on her own past in the D.R. and her visits with her own absentee father in New York, Rita Indiana mixes satire with fantasy, horror, science fiction, and devastating memories. One reviewer called this a novel "so fast-paced that it must be swallowed whole; to set it aside is as dangerous as jumping from a speeding motorcycle."
