Product Details
Overview
En esta novela mordaz y conmovedora, ambientada en una pequeña ciudad de la costa de Indonesia, se narra la historia de dos familias entrelazadas y de Margio, un chico corriente en casi todo, salvo en el hecho de que oculta dentro de sí a una tigresa blanca sobrenatural. Las pequeñas miserias y traiciones de la vida familiar atormentan a este ser mágico, hasta que la violencia acaba por desencadenarse y su misteriosa causa se va conociendo a medida que los acontecimientos se suceden. Kurniawan teje con maestría una delicada metáfora sobre la violencia, el abuso y la sed de justicia que se extiende desde el núcleo familiar a la historia reciente de Indonesia, denunciando las masacres de aquellos años y la amnesia colectiva usada para esconder a las víctimas como una especie de segunda muerte. Lírica y obscena, experimental y política, esta extraordinaria novela anuncia la llegada de una nueva y poderosa voz literaria.
In this biting and moving novel, set in a small town on the Indonesian coast, the intertwined stories of two families unfold alongside that of Margio, an ordinary young man in almost every respect—except for the supernatural white tigress he carries within him. The petty miseries and betrayals of family life torment this magical being until violence finally erupts, and its mysterious cause is gradually revealed.
