Overview

En vĆ­speras del siglo XX, Mary Mallon emigrĆ³ de Irlanda a los quince aƱos para abrirse paso en Nueva York. Valiente, obstinada y soƱando con ser cocinera, luchĆ³ por ascender desde el escalĆ³n mĆ”s bajo de la escala de servicio domĆ©stico. Astuta y emprendedora, se metiĆ³ en la cocina y descubriĆ³ que poseĆ­a el talento de un verdadero chef. Buscada por la aristocracia de Nueva York, y con una independencia poco frecuente para una mujer de la Ć©poca, parecĆ­a haber logrado la vida que pretendĆ­a cuando llegĆ³ a Castle Garden. Luego de eso, un Ā«ingeniero mĆ©dicoĀ» muy resuelto, notĆ³ que ella dejaba un rastro de enfermedad dondequiera que cocinara, y la identificĆ³ como una Ā«portadora asintomĆ”ticaĀ» de fiebre tifoidea. Con esta teorĆ­a aparentemente ridĆ­cula, hizo de Mallon una mujer perseguida.

El Departamento de Salud la enviĆ³ a North Brother Island, donde la mantuvieron aislada de 1907 a 1910, y luego fue liberada bajo la condiciĆ³n de que nunca mĆ”s trabajara como cocinera. Sin embargo, para Mary, que estaba orgullosa de su posiciĆ³n social anterior y era una apasionada de la cocina, las alternativas eran detestables. Entonces desafiĆ³ el edicto.

La novela revive los comienzos del siglo XX en Nueva York: los barrios, los bares, el parque forjado en el alto Manhattan, el trĆ”fico de botes, las mansiones, los talleres clandestinos y los rascacielos emergentes. Fiebre es un relato ambicioso de una vida olvidada. En la imaginaciĆ³n de Mary Beth Keane, Mary Mallon se convierte en una heroĆ­na cautivante, dramĆ”tica, desconcertante, comprensiva, intransigente e inolvidable.
