La llegada de un predicador y su hija al taller de un mecánico y su ayudante en medio del monte chaqueño bajo el sol abrasador anuncia cambios y tormentas. "El viento que arrasa no es un ejercicio de estilo, al contrario: es una obra madura, con un manejo hábil del registro oral y una sensorialidad descriptiva alejada de aquel minimalismo expresivo tan corriente en los últimos años. Escritura sin apenas lirismo, sobria, y precisamente por ello de gran fuerza poética." Isaac Rosa, El País El calor agobia en el monte chaqueño. ¿Lloverá? Varados por una falla mecánica, el reverendo Pearson y su hija Leni esperan pacientes que el Gringo Bauer y Tapioca, el chico que hace años han dejado a su cuidado, pueda repararla para seguir camino. En ese cementerio de autos desmantelados y chatarra agrícola, los adolescentes pasan el rato y los adultos conversan sobre sus propias vidas. El encuentro inesperado cambiará a todos. Padres de sus hijos, hijos a su vez, los adultos se verán confrontados a sus creencias y pasados, un modo de prepararse para lo que vendrá. Novela imprescindible, El viento que arrasa convirtió inmediatamente a Selva Almada en una voz poderosa y nueva que proyectó su singularidad a toda la literatura argentina. La crítica ha dicho... "El viento que arrasa es un libro exquisitamente diseñado, proporcionando una experiencia profunda, poética y tangible del paisaje. Se cuenta con la precisión cinematográfica de una road movie estática, como una París, Texas del sur. Es una novela distintiva que marca la llegada al inglés de una autora con un talento innegable." Fallo del jurado del First Book Award del Festival Internacional del Libro de Edimburgo 2019 "El viento que arrasa es una novela de hoy que elige de modo original dentro de la lengua, sin grandes gestos ni anuncios, sólo porque está contando otra cosa." Beatriz Sarlo, Perfil "En su realismo de repercusiones mágicas, confluyen Onetti y el Borges de "El Sur" con la sombra inflamada de Horacio Quiroga, pero la calidad y resolución de su prosa activan una sugestión que es exclusiva de Selva Almada." Francisco Solano, El País "Selva Almada es una escritora clara y densa. Sólo necesita unas pocas oraciones para transmitir una atmósfera, una silueta, el carácter de un hombre en una situación." Philippe Lançon, Libération

A taut, lyrical portrait of four people thrown together on a single day in rural Argentina The Wind That Lays Waste begins in the great pause before a storm. Reverend Pearson is evangelizing across the Argentinian countryside with Leni, his teenage daughter, when their car breaks down. This act of God or fate leads them to the workshop and home of an aging mechanic called Gringo Brauer and a young boy named Tapioca. As a long day passes, curiosity and intrigue transform into an unexpected intimacy between four people: one man who believes deeply in God, morality, and his own righteousness, and another whose life experiences have only entrenched his moral relativism and mild apathy; a quietly earnest and idealistic mechanic’s assistant, and a restless, skeptical preacher’s daughter. As tensions between these characters ebb and flow, beliefs are questioned and allegiances are tested, until finally the growing storm breaks over the plains. Selva Almada’s exquisitely crafted debut, with its limpid and confident prose, is profound and poetic, a tactile experience of the mountain, the sun, the squat trees, the broken cars, the sweat-stained shirts, and the destroyed lives. The Wind That Lays Waste is a philosophical, beautiful, and powerfully distinctive novel that marks the arrival in English of an author whose talent and poise are undeniable.

In this brutal, gripping novel, Selva Almada narrates the case of three small-town teenage girls murdered in the 1980's in the interior of Argentina.Three deaths without culprits: 19-year old Andrea Danne, stabbed in her own bed; 15-year old María Luisa Quevedo, raped, strangled, and dumped in wasteland; and 20-year old Sarita Mundín, whose disfigured body was found on a river bank. Almada takes these and other tales of abused women to weave together a dry, straightforward portrait of gender violence that surpasses national borders and speaks to readers' consciousness all over the world.Following the success of The Wind That Lays Waste , internationally acclaimed Argentinian author Selva Almada dives into the heart of this problem with a reported novel, comparable to Truman Capote's In Cold Blood or John Hersey's Hiroshima , in response to the urgent need for attention to the ongoing catastrophe that is femicide.Not a police chronicle, not a thriller, but a contemporary noir novel that lives in the hearts of these women and the men who have abused them. Almada captures the invisible, and with lyrical brutality, blazes a new trail in journalistic fiction.

Ubicada en la Argentina rural, No es un río indaga en la crueldad y la violencia del universo masculino a través de los pactos y las alianzas secretas entre hombres. Enero y el Negro llevan de pesca a Tilo, hijo adolescente de Eusebio, el amigo muerto. Mientras beben y cocinan y hablan y bailan, lidian con los fantasmas del pasado y con los del presente, que se confunden en el ánimo alterado por el vino y el sopor. Una red mezcla realidad y sueño, hechos y conjeturas, isleños, agua, noche, fuego, peces, bichos. Humana, pero a la vez animal y vegetal, esta novela fluye como un cauce, una larga conversación o el afecto entre seres que se quieren: madres, hijos, hermanos, amantes, ahijados. Con Noesun río, Selva Almada completa su trilogía de varones, inaugurada con El viento que arrasay seguida inmediatamente por Ladrilleros. En esta novela magistral vuelven a brillar sus formas del decir y su extraordinaria sensibilidad para lograr que los personajes expresen en el hacer lo que habita en lo profundo de sus almas, en lo lejos de sus propias vidas.

A piercing and passionate novel, set in rural Argentina, about violence and masculinity Oscar Tamai and Elvio Miranda, the patriarchs of two families of brickmakers, have for years nursed a mutual hatred, but their teenage sons, Pájaro and Ángelito, somehow fell in love. Brickmakers begins as Pájaro and Marciano, Ángelito’s older brother, lie dying in the mud at the base of a Ferris wheel. Inhabiting a dreamlike state between life and death, they recall the events that forced them to pay the price of their fathers’ petty feud. The Tamai and Miranda families are caught, like the Capulets and the Montagues, in an almost mythic conflict, one that emerges from stubborn pride and intractable machismo. Like her heralded debut, The Wind That Lays Waste, Selva Almada’s fierce and tender second novel is an unforgettable portrayal of characters who initially seem to stand in opposition, but are ultimately revealed to be bound by their similarities. Almada enlarges the tradition of some of the most distinctive prose stylists of our time. In Brickmakers, she furthers her extraordinary exploration of masculinity and the realities of working-class rural life. This is another exquisitely written and powerfully told story by a major international voice.

Finalista de la IV Bienal de Novela Vargas Llosa Ubicada en la Argentina rural, No es un río indaga en la crueldad y la violencia del universo masculino a través de los pactos y las alianzas secretas entre hombres. Enero y el Negro llevan de pesca a Tilo, hijo adolescente de Eusebio, el amigo muerto. Mientras beben y cocinan y hablan y bailan, lidian con los fantasmas del pasado y con los del presente, que se confunden en el ánimo alterado por el vino y el sopor.

"Siempre leo a Selva Almada con devoción, pero para terminar No es un río tuve que ponerme de pie en medoio del living y leerlo en voz alta. Qué bien nos hace la buena literatura". - Samanta Schweblin. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Located in rural Argentina, It’s Not a River investigates the cruelty and violence of the male universe through the pacts and secret alliances made between men. Enero and El Negro take Tilo, the adolescent son of Eusebio, their dead friend, fishing. While they drink and cook and talk and dance, they grapple with the ghosts of the past and those of the present, which become confused in the mood altered by wine and stupor. A web mixes reality and dream, facts and conjectures, islanders, water, night, fire, fish, bugs. Human, but at the same time animal and vegetable, this novel flows like a channel, a long conversation or affection between beings who love each other: mothers, children, brothers, lovers, godchildren. With It's Not a River, Selva Almada completes her trilogy about men, inaugurated with The Wind that Raises and immediately followed by Bricklayers. In this masterful novel, her way of speaking and her extraordinary sensitivity shine again so that the characters express in their doing that which lives deep within their souls, far away from their own lives.

A satirical fable, a political allegory and an ecological warning from the author of The Three-Body Problem. On an otherwise ordinary day in the late Cretaceous, the seeds of Earth's first and greatest civilization were sown in the grisly aftermath of a Tyrannosaurus' lunch. From humble tooth-picking origins, ants and dinosaurs – two species so unalike and yet so complementary – forged an alliance that culminated in an antimatter-powered Age of Wonder. But such magnificent industry came at a price – a price paid first by Earth's biosphere, and then by all those dependent on it. And yet the dinosaurs refused to heed all warning of impending ecological collapse, leaving the ants facing a single dilemma: destroy their allies... or perish alongside them? 'Made my brain itch with its creativity and klaxon alarm... Deceptively simple and brilliantly clever, I simply adored it' LoveReading 'Liu's sense of fun is contagious' Locus

La enemistad entre dos cabezas de familia, ladrilleros de profesión en Argentina, llega a sus hijos varones y los conduce hacia un destino trágico. Amanece en un terreno baldío, ocupado por una gran noria. Dos cuerpos yacen en el suelo, rodeados de barro y hierbas mustias, sin que sepamos bien qué hacen ahí ni de dónde han venido, pero la memoria habla. Ladrilleros es el relato de una enemistad casi legendaria entre dos cabezas de familia, Oscar Tamai y Elvio Miranda, dos ladrilleros que trabajan de día para ganarse el pan y se pierden de noche en el juego y el sexo, las únicas diversiones que están al alcance de casi todos en un pueblo argentino donde el calor aprieta y las palabras faltan. Quienes pagarán el precio de tanto odio serán los hijos de estos hombres tan hombres, y la historia de todos va desfilando a la sombra de una noria que da vueltas en el vacío. Con un lenguaje que gobierna la desesperación y un estilo heredado de los maestros de la gran literatura, Selva Almada nos lleva sin más trámites al territorio del macho, un varón bronco que se sabe débil y por eso ama de malas maneras y mata con saña, mientras las mujeres hacen lo que hay que hacer para que la vida siga adelante. Reseña: «Una voz potente que nace en las huellas de Juan Carlos Onetti y, más allá, de William Faulkner y Erskine Caldwell.» Cristian Alarcón Casanova, El País «Una tragedia rural, una historia de amor masculina, un escenario de tierra seca y bruta en el que los Capuleto y los Montesco -en verdad los Tamai y los Miranda- son seres toscos, que fabrican ladrillos para ganarse el pan a la vez que libran una guerra de pasto quemado y galgos ahorcados. Es el reverso brutal de una historia de amor que termina en desgracia.» Karina Sainz Borgo, Voz Pópuli
