Description

FINALISTA DEL PREMIO MAN BOOKER INTERNACIONAL 2020

NOMINADA PARA EL NATIONAL BOOK AWARD 2020

FINALISTA DEL DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD

En la lista de los 100 mejores libros del 2020 del New York Times.

El libro que ha inspirado una adaptación en Netflix.

Con un ritmo y un lenguaje magistrales, Fernanda Melchor, autora de Falsa liebre explora en esta obra las sinrazones que subyacen a los actos más desesperados de barbarie pasional.
 
Una novela cruda y desgarradora en la que el lector quedará envuelto, atrapado por las palabras y la atmósfera de terrible, aunque gozosa, fatalidad.
 
Un grupo de niños encuentra un cadáver flotando en las aguas turbias de un canal de riego cercano a la ranchería de La Matosa. El cuerpo resulta ser de la Bruja, una mujer que heredó dicho oficio de su madre fallecida, y a quienes los pobladores de esa zona rural respetaban y temían.
 
Tras el macabro hallazgo, las sospechas y habladurías recaerán sobre un grupo de muchachos del pueblo, a quienes días antes una vecina vio mientras huían de casa de la hechicera, cargando lo que parecía ser un cuerpo inerte.
 
A partir de ahí, los personajes involucrados en el crimen nos contarán su historia mientras los lectores nos sumergimos en la vida de este lugar acosado por la miseria y el abandono, y donde convergen la violencia del erotismo más oscuro y las sórdidas relaciones de poder.
 
“Un viaje nocturno a las profundidades del alma humana con el estilo más radical de su generación.” -Martín Solares
 
“Fernanda Melchor no sólo escribe con la potencia rabiosa que le reclaman los temas que ha decidido investigar, sino que en cada página muestra un oído y una agudeza pocas veces vista en nuestra literatura.” -Yuri Herrera

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
 
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE AND THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD

Longlisted • National Book Award (Translated Literature)

New York Times Notable Book of 2020

The book that inspired the adapted film, now on Netflix.

The English-language debut of one of the most thrilling and accomplished young Mexican writers
 
The Witch is dead. And the discovery of her corpse―by a group of children playing near the irrigation canals―propels the whole village into an investigation of how and why this murder occurred. Rumors and suspicions spread. As the novel unfolds in a dazzling linguistic torrent, with each unreliable narrator lingering on new details, new acts of depravity or brutality, Melchor extracts some tiny shred of humanity from these characters that most would write off as utterly irredeemable, forming a lasting portrait of a damned Mexican village.
 
Like Roberto Bolano’s 2666 or Faulkner’s greatest novels, Hurricane Season takes place in a world filled with mythology and violence―real violence, the kind that seeps into the soil, poisoning everything around: it’s a world that becomes more terrifying and more terrifyingly real the deeper you explore it.
