Summary:
"Un malentendido y un asesinato fortuito desencadenan este relato febril que parece estallar en cada línea. Así como lo terrible sucede de manera repen tina y tuerce el rumbo de las cosas, el escenario rural y desolado en el que transcurre esta novela encierra a los personajes en una trama de venganza y reden ción. Regidos por códigos propios, estos hombres viven la vida y la muerte sin gloria ni solemnidad. La fatalidad abruma esta tierra y pone a prueba los límites entre el mito y el destino. Hipnótica y precisa, la prosa de Mariana Travacio vuelve visible lo que nombra con imágenes tan poé ticas y filosas como los paisajes que describe. Como si existiese el perdón avanza a un ritmo incontenible y atrapa a los lectores con la potencia de su voz. Una novela que se inscribe en lo mejor de la literatura latinoamericana contemporánea" -- Back cover.
"A misunderstanding and a random murder trigger this feverish story that seems to explode with each line. Just as the terrible thing happens suddenly and twists the course of things, the rural and desolate setting in which this novel takes place locks the characters in a plot of revenge and redemption. Governed by their own codes, these men live life and death without glory or solemnity. Doom overwhelms this land and tests the boundaries between myth and destiny. Hypnotic and precise, Mariana Travacio's prose makes visible what she names with images as poetic and sharp as the landscapes she describes. As if forgiveness existed, she advances at an unstoppable pace and captivates readers with the power of her voice. A novel that is part of the best of contemporary Latin American literature" -- English translation of back cover.
