Overview
Los relatos feroces y adictivos de una de las voces más originales de la narrativa española actual: un libro salvaje, perturbador e inesperadamente amoroso.
Hay una adolescente disfrazada de leoparda que busca ternura en una fiesta mientras libra una guerra contra su propio deseo. Hay gacelas que devoran leones. Hay niñas que esconden la violencia bajo la piel estampada. Hay cuerpos que mutan, que se camuflan, que aprenden a enseñar los dientes.
En estos relatos, las víctimas se convierten en verdugos y los verdugos reclaman amor. La jungla no está afuera; late bajo la ropa, bajo el maquillaje, bajo el lenguaje, y cada historia abre una grieta en lo cotidiano. Nos obliga a mirar de frente aquello que preferiríamos domesticar: el deseo, la identidad, la herida, la maternidad, la crueldad.
Animal print es un libro de fábulas contemporáneas donde lo salvaje y lo humano intercambian máscaras. Cuevas escribe como quien acaricia con una mano y araña con la otra, con una prosa feroz y delicada al mismo tiempo, lírica y afilada, y convierte cada relato en un espejo deformante donde bajo cada piel hay otro animal esperando su momento para revelarse.
Porque todos llevamos una fiera dentro. Y hasta la más brutal sigue buscando amor.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
AND YOU—WHAT ANIMAL ARE YOU?
Fierce, addictive stories from one of the most original voices in contemporary Spanish fiction: a wild, unsettling, and unexpectedly tender book.
A teenage girl in a leopard costume searches for tenderness at a party while waging war against her own desire. Gazelles devour lions. Girls hide violence beneath patterned skin. Bodies mutate, camouflage themselves, learn to bare their teeth.
In these stories, victims become executioners, and executioners demand love. The jungle is not out there; it pulses beneath clothing, beneath makeup, beneath language—and each story cracks open the surface of the everyday. It forces us to face what we would rather tame: desire, identity, wounds, motherhood, cruelty.
Animal Print is a collection of contemporary fables where the wild and the human trade masks. Cuevas writes as if caressing with one hand and clawing with the other, in prose that is at once ferocious and delicate—lyrical yet razor-sharp—turning each story into a distorting mirror in which, beneath every skin, another animal waits for its moment to emerge.
Because we all carry a beast inside us. And even the most brutal still longs for love.
