Notes

Description
"Maldeniña se sitúa en un pueblo minúsculo, que "no es más que dos hileras de casas como dientes torcidos en la boca de un loco, un pueblo querido a ratos, que no existe en el mapa", un pueblo en el que no pasa nada más que una carretera, con sus camiones y forasteros. Este pueblo y sus habitantes son testigos de la soledad de Isa. En la habitación del hotel ruinoso en la que vive con Papá, Isa hace recortes y dibujos de la casa que desearía compartir con él, pero Papá cada día está más ausente. No la mira, no la mima. Mientras, ella hace mandados, ayuda con el quehacer, evita a su tía José -quien parece querer llenar su vacío con ella-, aguanta un dolor de barriga y, sobre todo, espera a Papá. En esta novela, los silencios se convierten en un canto a la desolación, al desamparo, a la rareza de sus personajes y al lenguaje. Lorena Salazar Masso vuelve a conmover e impactar a través de una historia potente y una prosa poética y diáfana, llena de candor, desgarro y delicadeza"--Back cover.
Description
"Maldeniña is located in a tiny town, which "is nothing more than two rows of houses like crooked teeth in the mouth of a madman, a town beloved at times, that does not exist on the map", a town in which nothing happens nothing more than a road, with its trucks and strangers. This town and its inhabitants are witnesses of Isa's loneliness. In the dilapidated hotel room where she lives with Dad, Isa makes cuttings and drawings of the house she would like to share with. him, but Dad is more absent every day. He doesn't look at her, he doesn't pamper her. Meanwhile, she runs errands, helps with the chores, avoids her aunt José - who seems to want to fill his void with her -, endures a tummy ache. and, above all, wait for Dad. In this novel, silences become a song to desolation, helplessness, the strangeness of its characters and language. Lorena Salazar Masso once again moves and impacts through a story. powerful and poetic and diaphanous prose, full of candor, heartbreak and delicacy"--Back cover.
