Deathcats / el gato eficaz

Autor Luisa Valenzuela
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iun 2017
A classic surreal & subversive novel by one of the original magical realist authors, Luisa Valenzuela. Here's what the old masters say: "Luisa Valenzuela is the heiress of Latin American Fiction. She wears an opulent, baroque crown, but her feet are naked." - Carlos Fuentes, author, Aura, & The Old Gringo; "Luisa Valenzuela's books are our present, but they also contain much of our future." - Julio Cortazar, author, Hopscotch. What a new generation has to say: "Luisa Valenzuela is a super nova to the heart." - Lidia Yuknavitch, author of Chronology of Water, Dora: A Head Case, The Small Backs of Children, & The Book of Joan; "Valenzuela's work is not precious. It is stark & sometimes raving mad. Jonathan Titler's translation is syntactically beautiful and las palabras se construyen para devastar..." - Amy Temple Harper, author, Cramped Uptown

Notă biografică

Luisa Valenzuela, born in Buenos Aires, has worked as a journalist for print & radio since the age of 17 (in France, where she met members of the nouveau roman movement), & published her first novel, Clara. She has traveled extensively through Latin America, and lived in New York, Barcelona, & Paris for many years. Facing censorship during what became the Dirty Little War (which resulted in much of her best known work), she moved to New York where she was Resident Writer at the Center for Interamerican Relations at N.Y. & Columbia University, where she taught writing workshops & seminars for 10 years; member of the NY Inst. for the Humanities, at the Fund for Free Expression; member of the Freedom to Write Committee of the PEN American Center. She has received the 1997 Medal "Machado de Assis" of Academia Brasilera de Letras, University of Puerto Rico's 2004 Premio Astralba, as well as Guggenheim & Fullbright fellowships. In 1989 she returned to Buenos Aires, but still travels extensively. Much of her writing combines a powerful critique of dictatorship with an examination hierarchical & patriarchal social organizations from a feminist perspective.
