Overview
«Áspera, lírica, cruel y con la rarísima dulzura de las voces que casi nadie escucha y mucho menos escribe , El monte de las furias es una novela potente y hermosa».—Gabriela Cabezón Cámara
Una mujer vive en la ladera de la montaña, entre la neblina que baja y el follaje feraz. Su misión es cuidar los linderos, avisar al celador de cualquier anomalía. En sus cuadernos escribe sobre su rutina parsimoniosa y los recuerdos de una infancia marcada por una madre brutal y por el deseo insatisfecho de aprender. Al fondo, se escucha la cantera y el ruido de las camionetas blindadas sobre la destapada. Un día aparece en su jardín un cuerpo, y turbados y cuidadosos de no llamar la atención, con el celador deciden enterrarlo. Pero aparece otro. Y otro y otro y otro…
La escritura prodigiosa, característica de Trías, reluce en esta novela inquietante y atmosférica, en la que los tópicos de la madre, la violencia y la relación con la naturaleza reaparecen, y con cuánta fuerza estremecen al lector.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The latest novel by the author of Pink Slime, winner of the 2021 Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize.
“Harsh, lyrical, cruel, and with a rare sweetness from voices almost no one hears, much less writes about. The Hill of Wrath is a powerful and beautiful novel.”
Gabriela Cabezón Cámara
A woman lives on a mountainside, between the mist and the forest. Her mission is to watch the borders and report any anomalies to the guard. Her journals record her spartan routine and memories of a childhood with a brutal mother and unrealized dreams of an education. In the background, there is the constant rumble from the quarry and armored trucks. One day, she finds a body in the yard; fearful of attracting attention, she and the guard decide to bury it. But another soon appears. And another, and another....
Trías extraordinary talent shines in this unsettling and atmospheric novel, with neglectful mothers, violence and humanity’s relationship to nature as its recurring themes.
