Synopsis "Arroyo Flint Kill (in Spanish)"

Joyce Carol Oates, una de las referentes indiscutibles de la narrativa contemporánea, nos arrastra en estas doce historias a los rincones más oscuros del alma humana. Con su inconfundible estilo, entre lo lírico y lo perturbador, explora aquí la fragilidad de las emociones y los abismos que se esconden tras una rutina aparentemente trivial. Amores turbios, deseos reprimidos, recuerdos que amenazan, crímenes que se insinúan y decisiones que cambian una vida en un instante. Desde pequeños pueblos hasta frías urbes enajenantes, de asépticos hospitales y despachos universitarios a una naturaleza salvaje e impasible, los escenarios cambian pero lo inquietante acecha permanentemente tras las máscaras de lo cotidiano.

En este volumen, seleccionado por The New Yorker como uno de los libros del año 2024, Oates recuerda, con un pulso narrativo firme e hipnótico, que el verdadero terror rara vez proviene de lo sobrenatural: suele estar más cerca de lo que creemos. Y a menudo, dentro de nosotros mismos.
