Om bidragsyterne
Nuria Amat was born in Barcelona, where she now lives, after having lived in Colombia, Mexico, Berlin, Paris, and the USA. She regularly contributes to the Spanish press and her work is made up of novels, stories, and essays
Following the footsteps of a writer persecuted because of his ideas and tortured by his own frustrations, a young Catalan woman embarks on an adventure in the jungles of Colombia where her familiar world shatters and from which nothing emerges unharmed. Confronted by solitude in a region where it rains incessantly, she discovers, first in her lover, then in the people around her, the alarming signs of a devastating war. In a narrative that swings between intimacy and horror, she bears witness to a hell in which she abandons everything except the language she has had to reinvent, as her only refuge, to speak about the thousand new faces death has shown her. Nuria Amat was born in Barcelona, where she now lives.
