The Murmuration

Will Vanderhyden

0/5 ( ratings)

Within the world of Labbé’s fiction, The Murmuration can be understood as a continuation and broadening, a shift toward a more explicit expression of the political project signaled in his early work and a doubling-down on the formal playfulness and elusive sensibility that characterize all of his fiction. Popular forms and genres have always been integral to Labbé’s novels, and with The Murmuration he makes his most direct appeal to the masses yet, engaging the world of professional soccer.
With the 1962 World Cup in Chile as the focal point, Labbé builds a narrative that is at once a story of intrigue and action and an exploration of ideas that animate the late-capitalist discourse of our current moment . What emerges is a novel that enacts—in form and content—the notion that art can only transcend the cages of tradition and convention, of colonialism and global capitalism, of systemic exploitation and extractive politics through collective creative action.
