About this product

Product Information

El mundo de Mariana Enriquez no tiene por qu ser el nuestro, y, sin embargo, lo termina siendo. Bastan pocas frases para pisarlo, respirarlo y no olvidarlo gracias a una viveza emocional ins lita. Con la cotidianidad hecha pesadilla, el lector se despierta abatido, perturbado por historias e im genes que jam s conseguir sacarse de la cabeza. Las autodenominadas "mujeres ardientes", que protestan contra una forma extrema de violencia dom stica que se ha vuelto viral; una estudiante que se arranca las u as y las pesta as, y otra que intenta ayudarla; los a os de apagones dictados por el gobierno durante los cuales se intoxican tres amigas que lo ser n hasta que la muerte las separe; el famoso asesino en serie llamado Petiso Orejudo, que s lo ten a nueve a os; hikikomori, magia negra, los celos, el desamor, supersticiones rurales, edificios abandonados o encantados... En estos once cuentos el lector se ve obligado a olvidarse de s mismo para seguir las peripecias e investigaciones de cuerpos que desaparecen o bien reaparecen en el momento menos esperado. Ya sea una trabajadora social, una polic a o un gu a tur stico, los protagonistas luchan por apadrinar a seres socialmente invisibles, indagando as en el peso de la culpa, la compasi n, la crueldad, las dificultades de la convivencia, y en un terror tan hondo como veros mil. Mariana Enriquez es una de las narradoras m s valientes y sorprendentes del siglo XXI, no s lo de la nueva literatura argentina a cargo de escritores nacidos durante la dictadura sino de la literatura de cualquier pa s o lengua. Mariana Enriquez transforma g neros literarios en recursos narrativos, desde la novela negra hasta el realismo sucio, pasando por el terror, la cr nica y el humor, y ahonda con dolor y belleza en las ra ces, las llamas y las tinieblas de toda existencia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In these wildly imaginative, devilishly daring tales of the macabre, internationally bestselling author Mariana Enriquez brings contemporary Argentina to vibrant life as a place where shocking inequality, violence, and corruption are the law of the land, while military dictatorship and legions of desaparecidos loom large in the collective memory. In these stories, reminiscent of Shirley Jackson and Julio Cort zar, three young friends distract themselves with drugs and pain in the midst a government-enforced blackout; a girl with nothing to lose steps into an abandoned house and never comes back out; to protest a viral form of domestic violence, a group of women set themselves on fire. But alongside the black magic and disturbing disappearances, these stories are fueled by compassion for the frightened and the lost, ultimately bringing these characters--mothers and daughters, husbands and wives--into a surprisingly familiar reality. Written in hypnotic prose that gives grace to the grotesque, Things We Lost in the Fire is a powerful exploration of what happens when our darkest desires are left to roam unchecked, and signals the arrival of an astonishing and necessary voice in contemporary fiction.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
