🐿️ Genius Loci. Leah Hampton nos planta frente al duende del lugar y nos invita a reconocer las cosas pequeñas y autóctonas de los Apalaches en nuestras propias pequeñeces y escenarios. Lo consigue sin rendirse al cliché y con un talento impresionante en una serie de cuentos que emocionan con su sencillez y potencia. Gracias -otra vez- a @dirtyworkseditorial por poner a semejante narradora en nuestras vidas ( y gracias a Tomás Cobos porque no debió ser una traducción fácil).

"No hay manera de que arreglen nada en éste pueblo, pero al menos podrían retirar al oso muerto del aparcamiento del Food Country". Así empieza Cabronazo, el cuento y el libro. Pueblos y gente abandonados a su suerte, habitando secretos, despojada, anhelante. Emociones y paisajes entrelazados. Hipnótico y familiar.

Cabronazo es, además del título del primer cuento, el compendio de doce relatos firmado por Leah Hampton, la nueva autora de @dirtyworkseditorial. Podríamos decir que es una obra de ficción, probablemente los nombre y apellidos de los personajes de este volumen no sean reales (porque Miss hamptonleah , el bombero Larry no se apellidará Brown, no?), pero lo que es totalmente real y verídica es su idiosincrasia y (mala) fortuna.
