Paperback. Condition: New. Working as a cook on a merchant ship, a woman comes to know and love Samsa, a woman who gives her the nickname 'Boulder'. When Samsa gets a job in Reykjavik and the couple decides to move there together, Samsa decides that she wants to have a child. She is already forty and can't bear to let the opportunity pass her by. Boulder is less enthused, but doesn't know how to say no - and so finds herself dragged along on a journey that feels as thankless as it is alien. With motherhood changing Samsa into a stranger, Boulder must decide where her priorities lie, and whether her yearning for freedom can truly trump her yearning for love.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. FINALISTA AL PREMIO BOOKER INTERNACIONAL 2023 Después de la exitosa Permafrost , Boulder es la continuación del tríptico donde Eva Baltasar explora la voz, la vida y el cuerpo de tres mujeres. La esperada segunda novela de la escritora y poeta Eva Baltasar llega en traducción de Nicole d'Amonville para los lectores en lengua española. Dos años después de su exitoso debut en catalán con Permagel (Club Editor, 2018), la autora firma una historia tan poética y vibrante como la que la dio a conocer. La protagonista de Boulder se gana la vida como cocinera en un viejo barco mercante. Es la situación perfecta: soledad, una cabina, el océano, algún puerto en el que conocer mujeres y horas para encarar el vacío, para sentir la fuerza de la provisionalidad. Hasta que un día una de ellas consigue que abandone el mar, acceda a vivir entre cuatro paredes y se implique en la gestación asistida y en la educación de un hijo. ¿Qué ha hecho la maternidad con la mujer que en su día conoció en un bar de la Patagonia? ¿Qué hará ella, animal enjaulado en una casa unifamiliar de Reikiavik? Todo ha cambiado excepto su apodo, Boulder: esas enormes piedras aisladas en medio del paisaje, expuestas a todo sin que nadie sepa de dónde vienen ni porque están ahí. La crítica ha dicho. . . « Boulder es un libro sensual, sexy e intenso. Eva Baltasar condensa las sensaciones y experiencias de una docena de novelas en poco más de cien páginas de vibrante prosa. Una incisiva historia de amor y maternidad queer que disecciona los dilemas de intercambiar independencia por intimidad. » Leïla Slimani, miembro y portavoz del jurado del Premio Booker Internacional 2023 «El estilo de Baltasar es impecable. » Carlos Zanón, El País «Sobrecogedora, intensa, poética. » Laura Ferrero, ABC «Una lucidez fría pero candente, admirable, en su aproximación al detalle. » Nadal Suau, El Cultural «Manejalos sentimientos como material radioactivo, es decir, como algo que nos mata y nos ilumina. » Javier Rodríguez Marcos, Babelia «La suya es una subjetividadpoética que mira el mundo y descubre que todo eso que nos contiene puede mirarse por primera vez. » Gabriela Wiener «Describe como no pensabas que pudiera hacerse. Lo supera todo. » Julià Guillamon, La Vanguardia «Baltasar es habilísima. Una Dorothy Parker catalana. Irónica, implacable. » La Repubblica «Baltasar arranca con fuerza. » Clarín *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
