| Synopsis | The protagonist of this story, a Latin American woman who teaches Norwegian to immigrants, is about to reach her limit; loneliness has brought her to the brink of complete abandonment of herself. Wanting to avoid the worst, her best friend decides to take her with him to his native Romania on a trip that she finds impossible to postpone. There, among concrete blocks and neon signs, they see the tenuous bond that united them as migrants in frozen Norway fade away. Refuge in alcohol and drugs, surrounded by a language she doesn't know in a country she doesn't understand, the young language teacher will look for a way to hold on to this world. In the midst of so much darkness, she finds a brittle bark. Claudia Ulloa Donoso's first novel is a bold exploration of death as an idea and intuition, but also an incredulous contemplation of its reverse: life and its stubborn insistence. Faithful to the literary quest he undertook in Pajarito, his acclaimed collection of stories, Ulloa Donoso has written a book that, between pleasure and fever, takes language to its limits to remind us that only through it are we able to confront that definitive threshold that is the end of existence. |
