Overview
Un nuevo libro de relatos del ganador del Premio IMPAC y el Premio Alfaguara de novela por El ruido de las cosas al caer.
«Una de las voces más originales de la nueva literatura latinoamericana.»
Mario Vargas Llosa
Una fotógrafa comprende algo que hubiera preferido no comprender. Un veterano de la guerra de Corea se enfrenta a su pasado durante un encuentro que parecía inofensivo. Tras el hallazgo por internet de un libro de 1887, un escritor acaba descubriendo la vida de una mujer apasionante.
Los personajes de Canciones para el incendio son hombres y mujeres tocados por la violencia, de cerca o de lejos, de manera directa o sólo tangencial, cuyas vidas cambian para siempre por un encuentro fortuito o por la acción de fuerzas incomprensibles.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A new book of tales by the winner of the IMPAC Prize and the Alfaguara Novel Prize for The Sound of Things Falling.
“One of the most original voices in new Latin American literature.”—Mario Vargas Llosa
A photographer understands something she would have preferred not to. A veteran of the Korean War faces his past during a seemingly benign encounter. After the discovery of a book from 1887, a writer ends up discovering the life of a fascinating woman.
The characters in Songs for the Fire are men and women touched by violence, whether first-hand or only tangentially, whose lives change forever because of a chance encounter or unimaginable forces.
