Overview
Nix es una criatura extraña que llegó a la ciudad un día cualquiera. Tiene aspecto mitad de chica mitad de animal: quizá por eso todos la llaman Piel de Perro. No ha sabido encajar y no hace más que cometer destrozo tras otro. Nix ha llevado a tal punto sus disparates que ha mandado la civilización al carajo. ¡Ahora todos odian a Piel de Perro! Está empezando la era del bestialismo, y Nix no puede convivir con la culpa de haber destruido el mundo; con tal de enmendar su error, deberá vagar por el desierto en busca del «Autor», también conocido como «el hombre acueducto», para que este pueda reescribir esta terrible historia.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A startling fable about grief and redemption: an Oz-like tale for the centennial generation by one of the most admired and original new authors in the fanzine genre.
Nix is a strange creature who arrives in the city on a day like any other. She is half-girl, half-animal, earning her the nickname Dog Skin[nd1] . She has trouble fitting in and commits one destructive act after another, dooming civilization with her rampages. Now everyone hates Dog Skin! But the era of beasts is beginning, and Nix can’t live with the guilt of destroying the world. To make amends, she wanders through the desert in search of the “Author,” also known as “aqueduct man,” to help her rewrite this terrible history.
