Let's stop at the "greed", ours and that of others. Everyone's. Desire, anxiety, ambition, greed. Lina Meruane exposes us to the material and metaphorical senses of this word throu gh a multitude of insatiable mothers and daughters, incisive sisters, sharp friends and lovers as well as wild men and animals whose hunger feeds love and hate, misery and punishment, resentment, forgiveness. An obsessive universe through which objects come to life, bodies that lose it, that mutilate and break apart. Reading these poignant stories by Lina Meruane triggers, as in each of her books, an unforgettable reading avidity. Show more
