In a port city reminiscent of Montevideo that is ravaged by a mysterious plague, a woman tries to understand why her world is falling apart. It isn’t only the looming plague and death, the algae and poisonous winds, or the pink paste that is the only thing available to eat—but the collapse of all of her emotional ties, the uncertainty, and the emergence of a radical solitude.
With disquieting prose that is rich with poetic discoveries, Fernanda Trías creates an extraordinary world that uncovers the immense beauty and pain in the fragility of human relationships.
