{"product_id":"dead-girls-pb","title":"Selva Almada And Translated By Annie Mcdermott: Dead Girls [2020] paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this brutal, gripping novel, Selva Almada narrates the case of three small-town teenage girls murdered in the 1980's in the interior of Argentina.Three deaths without culprits: 19-year old Andrea Danne, stabbed in her own bed; 15-year old Maria Luisa Quevedo, raped, strangled, and dumped in wasteland; and 20-year old Sarita Mundin, whose disfigured body was found on a river bank. Almada takes these and other tales of abused women to weave together a dry, straightforward portrait of gender violence that surpasses national borders and speaks to readers' consciousness all over the world.Following the success of \u003cem\u003eThe Wind That Lays Waste\u003c\/em\u003e, internationally acclaimed Argentinian author Selva Almada dives into the heart of this problem with a reported novel, comparable to Truman Capote's _In Cold Blood _or John Hersey's \u003cem\u003eHiroshima\u003c\/em\u003e, in response to the urgent need for attention to the ongoing catastrophe that is femicide.Not a police chronicle, not a thriller, but a contemporary noir novel that lives in the hearts of these women and the men who have abused them. Almada captures the invisible, and with lyrical brutality, blazes a new trail in journalistic fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Almada, Selva \u0026 Mcdermott, Annie","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44096012026146,"sku":"9781916277847","price":15.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/almada-selva-mcdermott-annie-dead-girls-pb-9781916277847-39942952386850.jpg?v=1669380292","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/dead-girls-pb","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
