Infinity Ends Soon

Bag om Infinity Ends Soon

Infinity Ends Soon recreates the search for two characters in two different historical moments and countries: Marcos, a contemporary Colombian mathematician, and Georg Cantor, a 19th Century Russian mathematician. The narrator, Joseph, and Marcos meet by chance in a mental hospital in Montería where Marcos relives the past in Medellín, his youth, the women he loved, the violence he experienced in his beloved city, and his obsession with the late work of Cantor. Marcos is determined to solve the infinite and finish Cantor's controversial, mathematical work that only leads him to mental decline and isolation from society. In the tradition of Jorge Luis Borges, Joseph Avski delivers a powerful, intellectual and often humorous tale full of mathematical revelations, dramatic tension, and lyrical solvency. Infinity Ends Soon is translated by Mark McGraw with sophistication and sensitivity to language and details that only an accomplished translator of literary works can accomplish. The book was first published in Spanish in Colombia in 2015 by Emecé Colombia Editorial and taught at universities throughout South America.
