Synopsis | In a desert dotted with war-ravaged villages, two deserters from opposing sides discover a dark truth about their family. Vicente Barrera, a thread seller who once went from town to town conquering women and planting his children in them, spends his last years tied up in a room turned into an angry dog. María has found in Salvador a love that, so deep, seems to dissolve them into each other and mix their dreams as if concocted by the same mind. It is in that territory that the characters' destinies become intertwined, that their wounds are inherited and bleed out. In that clean landscape where fury and desire find their way, a story is told about children – that of their bodies and affections – but also about the women who surround them: mothers, lovers, companions. After being awarded the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz International Poetry Prize, Clyo Mendoza writes a novel of extraordinary beauty, where language embarks on a hallucinatory journey through eroticism, the transitions of consciousness and the possibility that different beings can inhabit the same body. Through a journey through madness, Furia offers a moving questioning of love, violence and the suffering that it brings with it. |
