Mejor libro del a o en: Barnes & Noble - Book Riot - BookPage - Goodreads - Powell's - The Observer - HuffPost - Elle

Santiago acaba de fallecer con solo once a os. Su madre, afligida, siguiendo un feroz instinto maternal y la dudosa l gica de un viejo cuento popular, extrae un pedazo del pulm n del peque o y lo cuida hasta que este crece, cobra conciencia y se transforma en el voraz Monstrilio, a quien mantiene oculto en la deteriorada mansi n familiar en la Ciudad de M xico. Con el tiempo, Monstrilio comienza a parecerse al Santiago que una vez fue. Sin embargo, sus impulsos amenazan con destruir esta fr gil segunda oportunidad de vivir.

Monstrilio es una conmovedora meditaci n sobre el duelo, la aceptaci n y los aspectos inquietantes del amor y la lealtad. Gerardo S mano C rdova combina una imaginaci n audaz con una evocadora prosa y una profunda intensidad emocional. Narrada en cuatro actos que recorren el mundo, desde Brooklyn hasta Berl n, Monstrilio ofrece un retrato cat rtico y preciso de lo que significa ser humano.

Extra a y brillante, Monstrilio es una especie de Frankenstein moderno . --Elle

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Best Book of the Year at: Barnes & Noble - Book Riot - BookPage - Goodreads - Powell's - The Observer - HuffPost - Elle

Santiago has just died at only eleven years old. His grieving mother, following a fierce maternal instinct and the dubious logic of an old folktale, removes a piece of the boy's lung and tends to it until it grows, gains consciousness, and transforms into the ravenous Monstrilio, whom she keeps hidden in the decaying family mansion in Mexico City. Over time, Monstrilio begins to resemble the Santiago he once was. Yet his impulses threaten to destroy this fragile second chance at life.

Monstrilio is a moving meditation on grief, acceptance, and the unsettling aspects of love and loyalty. Gerardo S mano C rdova blends bold imagination with evocative prose and deep emotional intensity. Told in four acts that span the globe, from Brooklyn to Berlin, Monstrilio offers a cathartic and precise portrait of what it means to be human.

"Strange and brilliant, Monstrilio is a kind of modern Frankenstein." --Elle
