Finalista de la IV Bienal de Novela Vargas Llosa

Ubicada en la Argentina rural, No es un río indaga en la crueldad y la violencia del universo masculino a través de los pactos y las alianzas secretas entre hombres.

Enero y el Negro llevan de pesca a Tilo, hijo adolescente de Eusebio, el amigo muerto. Mientras beben y cocinan y hablan y bailan, lidian con los fantasmas del pasado y con los del presente, que se confunden en el ánimo alterado por el vino y el sopor. Una red mezcla realidad y sueño, hechos y conjeturas, isleños, agua, noche, fuego, peces, bichos. Humana, pero a la vez animal y vegetal, esta novela fluye como un cauce, una larga conversación o el afecto entre seres que se quieren: madres, hijos, hermanos, amantes, ahijados.

Con No es un río, Selva Almada completa su trilogía de varones, inaugurada con El viento que arrasay seguida inmediatamente por Ladrilleros. En esta novela magistral vuelven a brillar sus formas del decir y su extraordinaria sensibilidad para lograr que los personajes expresen en el hacer lo que habita en lo profundo de sus almas, en lo lejos de sus propias vidas.

"Siempre leo a Selva Almada con devoción, pero para terminar No es un río tuve que ponerme de pie en medoio del living y leerlo en voz alta. Qué bien nos hace la buena literatura". - Samanta Schweblin.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Shortlisted for The International Booker Prize 2024

Located in rural Argentina, It's Not a River investigates the cruelty and violence of the male universe through the pacts and secret alliances made between men.

Enero and El Negro take Tilo, the adolescent son of Eusebio, their dead friend, fishing. While they drink and cook and talk and dance, they grapple with the ghosts of the past and those of the present, which become confused in the mood altered by wine and stupor. A web mixes reality and dream, facts and conjectures, islanders, water, night, fire, fish, bugs. Human, but at the same time animal and vegetable, this novel flows like a channel, a long conversation or affection between beings who love each other: mothers, children, brothers, lovers, godchildren.

With It's Not a River, Selva Almada completes her trilogy about men, inaugurated with The Wind that Raises and immediately followed by Bricklayers. In this masterful novel, her way of speaking and her extraordinary sensitivity shine again so that the characters express in their doing that which lives deep within their souls, far away from their own lives.
