ganadora del Premio a la Mejor Novela Inédita del Ministerio de las Culturas de Chile, por la autora galardonada con los premios Anna Seghers, British Academy y PEN/Heim Translation Fund, y finalista del National Book Critics Circle Award 2022, traducida en 17 países.

«Una de las voces más contundentes de la literatura chilena actual (Babelia).

El cuerpo de Ingrid Aguirre, exiliada de la dictadura chilena, se encuentra en un avión de vuelta a Chile cuando el vuelo es desviado a los Andes argentinos. Su hija Paloma, junto con Iquela y Felipe, amigos de infancia que también son hijos de exmilitantes de la resistencia chilena, deciden cumplir el último deseo de Ingrid: ser enterrada en su país. Los tres se embarcan en un viaje iniciático en el que tendrán que enfrentarse a su herencia compartida, que cada uno ha vivido de manera distinta: Felipe desde la obsesión matemáticapor encontrar el número perfecto que le permita comprender el pasado, Iquela desde una contenida racionalidad que apenas puede lidiar con la violencia de su infancia, y Paloma desde un exilio que nunca fue suyo pero marcó toda su vida.

Tras el éxito de Limpia, Lumen recupera el brillante debut literario de Alia Trabucco Zerán: la historia de identidad, poder y memoria que la consagró como una de las voces más poderosas de la literatura latinoamericana actual.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Shortlisted for the 2019 Man Booker International Prize.

Kirkus Best Fiction of 2019.

Kirkus Best Fiction in Translation in 2019.

Winner of the Best Unpublished Novel Award from the Chilean Ministry of Culture, by the author who has won the Anna Seghers, British Academy, and PEN/Heim Translation Fund awards, and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award 2022. Translated in 17 countries.

Felipe and Iquela, two young friends in modern day Santiago, live in the legacy of Chile's dictatorship. Felipe prowls the streets counting dead bodies real and imagined, aspiring to a perfect number that might offer closure. Iquela and Paloma, an old acquaintance from Iquela's childhood, search for a way to reconcile their fragile lives with their parents' violent militant past. The body of Paloma's mother gets lost in transit, sending the three on a pisco-fueled journey up the cordillera as they confront the pain that stretches across generations.
