What?
This slim Argentine novel has been much praised as a psychological horror story, but be wary of the hype because the writing is of the love it or hate it variety. The author has taken her indignation at the poisoning of the land, water, and people, and channeled it into this aptly titled piece of free-flowing writing. It unfurls from within the mind of a woman who has been hospitalized, and suffice to say, it is incredibly difficult to follow if you don't know the environmental backstory.
