Ocaso Y Fascinación / Sunset and Fascination [Spanish]

Vuelve Eva Baltasar, autora finalista del Booker Internacional, con una novela deslumbrante.

«El estilo de Baltasar es impecable . -El Pa s

«Exquisita, oscura y poco convencional . -Fernanda Melchor

Mantenerse a flote se ha convertido en tu nica aspiraci n. Tienes un trabajo precario, una habitaci n realquilada y un t tulo que acredita que eres de las que no pueden caer. Pero caes. Sin preaviso, el riesgo entra en tu vida. De un d a para otro, todo lo que no te pod a pasar sucede: te quedas sin techo, sin trabajo, y te parten la cara.

Ahora la vida ya no va de creerse las reglas. Ahora eres t la que fabrica el enga o. Entrar s en las casas de los dem s. Creer n que has venido a limpiarlas. Creer n que has venido a hacerles la vida m s amable. Pero te has convertido en el lobo feroz, porque ya no tienes nada que perder.

Despu s del tr ptico sobre la maternidad que la ha hecho mundialmente conocida, Eva Baltasar viene a trastocarnos desde un lugar distinto, el del pacto social cuando se convierte en terrorista. Su poes a canta la noche a la intemperie, la inquietud de quien se sabe invisible en una ciudad. Su lucidez revela el lugar donde crimen y devoci n se encuentran. Y su nueva novela viene pre ada de un cuento en el que el horror es el hada que ti e de dorado el mundo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Eva Baltasar, a finalist for the Booker International Prize, is back with this fascinating novel.

Keeping your head above water has become your only aspiration. Your job is precarious and you live in a sublet, despite a college degree that was supposed to set you up for success. Suddenly, even this is pulled out from under you. From one day to the next, everything that shouldn't happen, happens: You have no job or roof over your head, and you've been sucker punched into the bargain.

Your life is no longer about following the rules. You create your own webs of lies. You gain entry into other people's homes. They think you are there to clean. They think you are there to make their lives easier. But in fact, you are the big bad wolf, because you have nothing to lose.

After the motherhood trilogy that gained her international acclaim, Eva Baltasar turns her provocative eye to the upending of the social pact. Her poetry is a hymn to stormy nights, to the unease of feeling invisible in the big city. Her lucid prose reveals the point where crime and devotion meet. And her new novel is a story in which horror is the fairy dust sprinkled on the world.
