Arsénico La Novela

Arsénico por compasión is a literary and transmedia project by Ecuadorian writer and communications professional Luis Monteros Arregui. The project brings together literature, cinema, photography, video and digital media, including web design, social networks and digital marketing. Its central work is a novel about Tomás, a film graduate navigating bereavement, a failing marriage and an unsatisfying career in Ecuador’s television and entertainment industry. Through humor, social satire and cinematic references, the story explores loss, separation, endings and the complexities of human relationships.

The novel is available in a printed edition through bookstores in Ecuador, with worldwide delivery by request. An interactive e-book, featuring the work’s film, photographic and video references, is offered for Apple devices through the Apple Store. The project’s website also provides information about the book and its author, along with textual, image and video references, trailers, interviews, press coverage, a gallery and ordering details. Monteros Arregui’s background includes writing and directing documentaries, producing commercials, and working in film and television.
