ENGLISH DESCRIPTION WINNER OF THE LUMEN PRIZE FOR NOVELS
A LUMINOUS AND RADIOACTIVE NOVEL
"A dazzling and moving voice. ...] It flows naturally from realism into myth and draws on humor and irony to tell a story we've never heard before."
From the judging panel, ngeles Gonz lez-Sinde, Luna Miguel, Clara Obligado, Lola Larumbe and Mar a Fasce
The narrator of this story was born just outside Chernobyl the year the nuclear reactor exploded. She grew up in a country wracked by misery and confusion. In a land of "radioactive children," monstrous crops from the exclusion zone, red skies, and alcoholic, sick and shellshocked men, women take refuge in the ordinary. Among them are a mother whose birth was never registered to evade Stalin's persecution; a grandmother kidnapped by the Nazis who returns home at war's end only to be accused of treason, forced to eke out a living gathering peat; a young woman infatuated with Mayakovsky; and another who uses her long braids to fish. From Buenos Aires, where she emigrated with her family, Natalia Litvinova breaks her mother's silence to give voice to these and other characters in Firefly.
