Distancia de rescate / Fever Dream

Samanta Schweblin

La extraordinaria primera novela de Samanta Schweblin, en la que se basa la pelicula homonima de Claudia Llosa para NETFLIX

Hipnotica, incomoda y atrapante.

PREMIO TIGRE JUAN PREMIO OJO CRITICO NOMINADA AL PREMIO MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL

El campo ha cambiado frente a nuestros ojos sin que nadie se diera cuenta. Y quiza no se trate solo de sequias y herbicidas, quiza se trate del hilo vital y filoso que nos ata a nuestros hijos, y del veneno que echamos sobre ellos. Nada es un cliche cuando finalmente sucede.

Distancia de rescate sigue esta vertiginosa fatalidad haciendose siempre las mismas preguntas: ?Hay acaso algun apocalipsis que no sea personal? ?Cual es el punto exacto en el que, sin saberlo, se da el paso en falso que, ahora si, nos condena?

Samanta Schweblin ha escrito un relato extraordinario e hipnotico, urgente y perdurable, que logra mantenernos inevitablemente atrapados y sumergirnos en un universo de ficcion estremecedor.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The book that inspired Fever Dream, a NETFLIX original film directed by Claudia Llosa (The Milk of Sorrow)

Genius. -Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker

Samanta Schweblin’s electric story reads like a Fever Dream. -Vanity Fair

Shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize!

Experience the blazing, surreal sensation of a fever dream…

A young woman named Amanda lies dying in a rural hospital clinic. A boy named David sits beside her. She’s not his mother. He’s not her child. Together, they tell a haunting story of broken souls, toxins, and the power and desperation of family.

Fever Dream is a nightmare come to life, a ghost story for the real world, a love story and a cautionary tale. One of the freshest new voices to come out of the Spanish language and translated into English for the first time, Samanta Schweblin creates an aura of strange psychological menace and otherworldly reality in this absorbing, unsettling, taut novel.
