Notes

Description
"En una ciudad sin nombre, desolada por la violencia y el hambre, en manos de un Alto Mando que por momentos recuerda al Gran Hermano de Orwell, un grupo de mujeres decide crear un club de lectura. La aventura literaria deviene pronto en un medio para escapar de la angustia cotidiana de esta distopía caribeńa. Un primer crimen fortuito las convierte en cómplices y la lectura de un libro de autoayuda, en asesinas. La inquietante pregunta que recorre estas páginas de manera implícita es que toda mujer, en nuestras sociedades impunes y machistas, esconde un deseo latente de venganza; toda mujer tiene un crimen pendiente. La novela también discute el valor terapéutico de la literatura, las múltiples formas del deseo y el fraude moral de los libros de desarrollo personal"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
"In a city without a name, devastated by violence and hunger at the hands of a 'high command' that at times resembles Orwell's Big Brother, a group of women decide to create a book club. This literary adventure soon becomes a means to escape the daily anguish of a Caribbean dystopia. An accidental crime turns them into accomplices, and reading of a self-help book turns them into murderers. The unsettling question that implicitly runs through these pages is that every woman in our impunity and sexist society hides a latent desire for revenge; every woman has a pending crime within. The novel also examines the therapeutic value of literature, the multiple forms of desire, and the moral fraud of self-help books"--,Provided by publisher.
