Klappentext zu „Quintana, P: Bitch “
In the jungle, dreams and nightmares coexistColombia's Pacific coast, where everyday life entails warding off the brutal forces of nature. In this constant struggle, nothing is taken for granted. Damaris lives with her fisherman husband in a shack on a bluff overlooking the sea. Childless and at that age "when women dry up," as her uncle puts it, she is eager to adopt an orphaned puppy. But this act may bring more than just affection into her home. The Bitch is written in a prose as terse as the villagers, with storms¿both meteorological and emotional¿lurking around each corner. Beauty and dread live side by side in this poignant exploration or the many meanings of motherhood and love.
"Artist that she is, Pilar Quintana uncovers wounds we didn't know we had, shows us their beauty, and then throws a handful of salt into them."YURI HERRERA, author of Signs Preceding the End of the World
"Pilar Quintana weaves human nature and the chaos of the universe together with extraordinary mastery. This is a novel full of mysteries about unfulfilled desire, guilt, and the places where love still exists." GABRIELA ALEMÁN, author of Poso Wells
"Pilar Quintana has created a psychological tale that sweeps and drags us like the waves of the sea."El Tiempo
