El libro\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Queen Cocaine (Reina de Am\u00e9rica):\u00a0<\/strong>Reina de Am\u00e9rica tiene tres protagonistas: Rat, una joven catalana reci\u00e9n llegada a Colombia que all\u00ed descubrir\u00e1 la cara del mundo que hasta entonces se le hab\u00eda ocultado, Aida, una visionaria negra experta en conjuros con la que Rat entablar\u00e1 una extra\u00f1a amistad, y Wilson, el nexo de uni\u00f3n entre ambas, escritor y reportero en la cuerda floja que se balancea entre la lucha armada, la violencia cotidiana y el turbio mundo del narcotr\u00e1fico. El encarnizado enfrentamiento entre la guerrilla y el ej\u00e9rcito es el marco de la pasi\u00f3n amorosa y de la pasi\u00f3n revolucionaria por las que son pose\u00eddos, que hallan estremecedora voz en una prosa n\u00edtida, \u00e1gil, sostenida e irremediablemente po\u00e9tica. Reina de Am\u00e9rica es una alta apuesta literaria que se nutre de la m\u00e1s candente realidad inmediata y la recrea, transform\u00e1ndola en una novela ambiciosa que ha encontrado su justa correspondencia en el amplio reconocimiento obtenido.<\/p>\n

The Book<\/span><\/h3>\n

Nuria Amat: Queen Cocaine.<\/strong>\u00a0Translated by\u00a0Peter\u00a0Bush. City Lights Publishers, 2005. 250p.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the footsteps of a writer persecuted because of his ideas and tortured by his own frustrations, a young Catalan woman embarks on an adventure in the jungles of\u00a0Colombia\u00a0where her familiar world shatters and from which nothing emerges unharmed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Confronted by solitude in a region where it rains incessantly, she discovers, first in her lover, then in the people around her, the alarming signs of a devastating war. In a narrative that swings between intimacy and horror, she bears witness to a hell in which she abandons everything except the language she has had to reinvent, as her only refuge, to speak about the thousand new faces death has shown her.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reviews<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00ab…the Barcelona-based Catalan author brings an alien sensibility and lush, invented language to Queen Cocaine, set in\u00a0Colombia’s war-ravaged countryside…. Amat’s book is a paranoid fever dream of a peasant novel \u2013 heir to those of Rulfo and Fanon, but also Lispector \u2013 filtered through the gaze of her doomed outsider.\u00bb -The Village Voice<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abAmat deftly conjures the funereal landscape of Colombia’s Pacific coast \u2014 an indifferent sea; intemperate rains; a jungle carpeted with snakes and punctuated by swamps… a traumatic forced evacuation of the village near the end adds gravitas to the book, which is an acute, grimly poetic account of a South American heart of darkness.\u00bb -Publishers Weekly<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abIn all, a revelatory tale that reads like the testimony of a shell-shocked survivor.\u00bb -Kirkus Reviews<\/span><\/p>\n
