Distancia de Rescate / Fever Dream

El campo ha cambiado frente a nuestros ojos sin que nadie se diera cuenta. Y quiz no se trate solo de sequ as y herbicidas, quiz se trate del hilo vital y filoso que nos ata a nuestros hijos, y del veneno que echamos sobre ellos. Nada es un clich cuando finalmente sucede.

Distancia de rescate sigue esta vertiginosa fatalidad haci ndose siempre las mismas preguntas: Hay acaso alg n apocalipsis que no sea personal? Cu l es el punto exacto en el que, sin saberlo, se da el paso en falso que, ahora s , nos condena?

Samanta Schweblin ha escrito un relato extraordinario e hipn tico, urgente y perdurable, que logra mantenernos inevitablemente atrapados y sumergirnos en un universo de ficci n estremecedor.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The book that inspired Fever Dream, a NETFLIX original film directed by Claudia Llosa (The Milk of Sorrow).

"Genius." --Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker

"Samanta Schweblin's electric story reads like a Fever Dream." --Vanity Fair

Shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize

Experience the blazing, surreal sensation of a fever dream...

A young woman named Amanda lies dying in a rural hospital clinic. A boy named David sits beside her. She's not his mother. He's not her child. Together, they tell a haunting story of broken souls, toxins, and the power and desperation of family.

Fever Dream is a nightmare come to life, a ghost story for the real world, a love story and a cautionary tale. One of the freshest new voices to come out of the Spanish language and translated into English for the first time, Samanta Schweblin creates an aura of strange psychological menace and otherworldly reality in this absorbing, unsettling, taut novel.
