Descriu un món vell i violent, transformat en una atmosfera visceral, corrupta, que travessa els segles i els homes, i se'ns dreça al davant, ardit i patètic, devorat per la passió, per la utopia, per l'embogiment. Amb un estil de vibrant morositat, un llenguatge ric i sensual.

Sommige romans slaan je met stomheid. In galop het duister in (1975) van Baltasar Porcel (1937-2009) is zo’n roman. (...) Ongebreideld is niet alleen wat deze familie uitvreet, ook de roman zelf is dat, met abrupte overgangen, een grillige tijdsstructuur, een grote diversiteit aan vertelvormen en uitbundige taal. In galop het duister in is, net als Honderd jaar eenzaamheid, een waanzinnige show more familiegeschiedenis, maar dan zonder veiligheidsriemen. show less
