Overview

XXVIII Premio Jaén de novela.
 
«Ésta es la historia de un hombre que sin saberlo fue su siglo y la de un lugar que se condensa aquí en un nombre propio; Germán Alcántara Carnero. Una historia de violencia incontenible y natural que exige ser contada como una biografía discontinua y que no debía empezar aquí»
 
Así comienza El cielo árido, la historia de Germán Alcántara Carnero: de los hombres y las mujeres que vivieron a su lado y de la meseta en la que Monge destila las esencias de una Latinoamérica salvaje. Un lugar árido, donde las únicas constantes parecieran ser la soledad, la violencia, la lealtad y la lucha cotidiana por hacerse con una escala de valores que dote de sentido a la existencia.
 
Narrada a partir de los instantes memorables de la vida de Germán -la huida de un par de muchachos a otra patria, los avatares de una guerra interminable, la desaparición de una niña, la rebelión de unos creyentes, el enfrentamiento de un hijo con su padre, el nacimiento de un bebé enfermo, el encasquetarse de un arma, la contemplación de un asesinato-, El cielo árido es un viaje al corazón del ser humano y un desafío al lector, oportunidad que sólo da la gran literatura.
 
«Impactante y sugestiva, consecuencia de un mundo interior abrumador, la novela de Monge se queda instalada en la memoria» -Daniel Sada.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

28th Jaén Novel Prize.


“This dark, sprawling novel was the English language debut of Emiliano Monge, a Mexican writer who is often compared to the US literary superstar Cormac McCarthy. Written in a tone that evokes McCarthy’s unrelenting classic Blood Meridian, the novel tells the story of Germán Alcántara Carnero, a dangerous campesino fighting to survive in rural 20th century Mexico, and also a metaphor for the spiraling violence of contemporary Mexican society.” ―Culture Trip
 
Set on a desolate, unnamed mesa, Emiliano Monge’s The Arid Sky distills the essence of a Latin America ruthlessly hollowed out by uncontainable violence. This is an unsparing yet magnificent land, whose only constants are loneliness, hatred, loyalty, and the struggle to return some small measure of meaning to life.
 
Thundering and inventive, The Arid Sky narrates the signature moments in the life of Germán Alcantara Carnero: a man who is both exaltedly, viscerally real and is an ageless, nameless being capable of embodying entire eras, cultures, and conflicts. Monge’s roadmap―an escape across borders, the disappearance of a young girl, the confrontation between a father and his son, the birth of a sick child, and murder―takes readers on a journey to the core of humankind that posits a challenge of the kind only great literature can pose.
