Synopsis

La adaptaci�n gr�fica de cuatro relatos de una de las obras narrativas de terror m�s originales y sorprendentes del siglo XXI.

Un coche se encuentra abandonado de noche en medio de la llanura pampeana con un bid�n de gasolina al lado. De repente, el veh�culo estalla en llamas y vemos que, en su interior, una mujer est� sentada al volante, sin inmutarse. A su lado descansa un libro en cuya portada leemos: Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego. Con esta potente sucesi�n de im�genes empieza la maravillosa adaptaci�n a cargo de Lucas Nine de la c�lebre recopilaci�n de cuentos hom�nima de Mariana Enriquez, una de las voces m�s rompedoras y originales del panorama actual, que encuentra en esta escena el hilo visual que conecta los cuatro relatos seleccionados: El chico sucio, Pablito clav� un clavito, El patio del vecino y Bajo el agua negra.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The graphic adaptation of four stories from one of the most original and surprising horror narratives of the 21st century.

The "propulsive and mesmerizing" (The New York Times Book Review) story collection by the International Booker-shortlisted author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed

The short stories of Mariana Enriquez are:
"The most exciting discovery I've made in fiction for some time."--Kazuo Ishiguro
"Phenomenal."--Vanity Fair
"Violent and cool, told in voices so lucid they feel spoken."--The Boston Globe

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Boston Globe, Paste, Words Without Borders, Grub Street, Remezcla, Entropy

Electric, disturbing, and exhilarating, the stories of Things We Lost in the Fire explore multiple dimensions of life and death in contemporary Argentina. Each haunting tale simmers with the nation's troubled history, but among the abandoned houses, black magic, superstitions, lost loves, and regrets, there is also friendship, compassion, and humor.

In these stories, reminiscent of Shirley Jackson and Julio Cort�zar, three young friends distract themselves with drugs and pain in the midst a government-enforced blackout; a girl with nothing to lose steps into an abandoned house and never comes back out; to protest a viral form of domestic violence, a group of women set themselves on fire.
