Ni la música me consuela
Camila Gutiérrez

FICTION | 2022 | 116 pages

The long-awaited return of the author of Joven y alocada and No te ama.

Imagine that your body is a house. And that taking care of that house always keeps you on guard, because you have to clean it, sweep it, close it through fasting, and then drive away the demons that want to invade the clean house. Be careful with clean houses: they are the devil's favorite.

This is something that GG, the protagonist of Ni la música me consuela, knows all too well. In New York, alongside her cat and her roommates, she tries to live through an anguish that she doesn't quite know the origins of daily, one that has to be defeated as only warriors know how.

Camila Gutiérrez, one of the most original voices of her generation, surprises us with this novel about a desired exile that is nonetheless marked by an uprooting, the marks of childhood, superstitions, death that lurks silently but inevitably, and people who flee, like cats when they no longer feel at home.

"To get rid of the thing making me suffer so much, I'll have to suffer some. In order to not want to die, I'll have to die a little."
