Description
La oscuridad del puerto lo envuelve todo. Pachi y Vinicio se adentran en la playa, van camino a una fiesta improvisada; andan buscando con qué entumir el cuerpo, con qué acabar de borrarse. El verano ha sido largo y el día, mucho peor. No muy lejos de ahí, Zahir fantasea con su próximo viaje a la capital o al norte de México, fuera del alcance de la tía que le exige dinero, lo aplaca a golpes y que había orillado a su hermano pequeño, Andrik, a huir de la casa común para terminar en otra: la de un hombre que acaricia y pega con la misma mano. Ahora sólo debe convencer a Andrik de comenzar una nueva vida y asegurarse de encontrar la salida de esa playa que parece no tener fin. Falsa liebre es una historia que fascina y horroriza, de la que es difícil apartarse por el ritmo de la prosa, capaz también de trazar a profundidad personajes al límite, que experimentan la violencia y el abandono. Esta es la primera novela de Fernanda Melchor, quien ha conquistado un lugar importante en las letras hispanoamericanas.
Description
The darkness of the port envelops everything. Pachi and Vinicio go into the beach, they are on their way to an impromptu party; they are looking for something to numb the body, with what to finish erasing themselves. The summer has been long and the day, much worse. Not far from there, Zahir fantasizes about his next trip to the capital or to the north of Mexico, out of reach of the aunt who demands money from him, beats him up and who had forced his little brother, Andrik, to run away from the common house to end up in another: that of a man who caresses and hits with the same hand. Now only he must convince Andrik to start a new life and make sure he finds his way out of that beach that seems to have no end. Falsa hare is a story that fascinates and horrifies, from which it is difficult to deviate due to the rhythm of the prose, also capable of tracing in depth characters on the edge, who experience violence and abandonment. This is the first novel by Fernanda Melchor, who has conquered an important place in Latin American literature.
