Overview

Uno de los mejores libros del 2018 según Babelia.

Permafrost es el sorprendente debut de Eva Baltasar, una  historia contundente, íntima y carnal de una protagonista con pulsiones  suicidas que se protege del exterior pero se entrega con intensidad al sexo con otras mujeres, la literatura y el arte.

El permafrost es esa capa de la tierra permanentemente congelada y es  también la membrana que cubre a la protagonista de esta novela. Escrita  en primera persona, nos presenta a una mujer en etapa de formación que  se protege del exterior, que percibe la superficialidad en todo cuanto  la rodea y huye de un entorno que nada tiene que ver con su manera de  entender la vida: una madre obsesionada con la salud, omnipresente y  controladora, y una hermana que afronta su existencia convencional con  medicación y un positivismo irritante. La protagonista, que siente  pulsiones suicidas, no permite que nadie se le acerque demasiado, pero  al mismo tiempo se entrega con intensidad al sexo con otras mujeres, la  literatura y el arte. El pulso entre el hedonismo, los placeres más  carnales y la muerte es constante en esta novela, así como el tono  mordaz de una protagonista que nos gana con su inteligencia y su humor negrísimo desde la primera página.

Repleto de imágenes poéticas, contundentes y muy físicas, este carácter  tan palpable del texto no es gratuito en una novela que nos  habla del  cuerpo, del sexo, del yo; una obra aguda y directa que reivindica la libertad femenina en el placer y en la soledad.

Eva Baltasar inicia con Permafrost un tríptico de protagonistas  femeninas que quiere explorar distintas etapas en la vida de las mujeres.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Permafrost is Eva Baltasar’s surprising debut; a powerful, intimate, and raw story of a protagonist with suicidal impulses who shields herself from the outside world, but passionately gives herself to sex with other women, literature, and art.
 
Permafrost is that layer of the earth that is permanently frozen, and it is also the membrane that covers the protagonist in this novel.
 
Written in first person, it introduces us to a woman at the beginning of her life who protects herself from the outside world, one who never moves past the surface with anything around her, and who tries to flee from an environment that has nothing to do with the way she perceives life. A movement between self-satisfaction, bodily pleasures, and death is constant in this novel, as well as the riveting tone by a protagonist who wins the reader over with her intelligence and dark humor from the very first page.
 
This text, full of poetic, forceful, and very physical imagery, talks about the body, sex, and the self; it is a sharp and direct work that reclaims female freedom when it comes to pleasure and solitude.
 
With Permafrost, Eva Baltasar begins with the first of her female protagonists who want to explore different stages of women’s lives.
