LA CONSAGRACIÓN DE UNA DE LAS GRANDES SORPRESAS DE LA LITERATURA LATINOAMERICANA Por la autora de Cometierra, «una revelación lectora» (Babelia) y uno de los mejores libros del año para The New York Times, El País y El Cultural, traducido a doce idiomas. «La escritura de Dolores Reyes es visceral y urgente, pero también se inscribe en la tradición más poderosa del fantástico y el policial, al tiempo que piensa la violencia de género con enorme lucidez».--Mariana Enriquez «Me había jurado no volver a comer tierra y ahora me quema la lengua y me ruge el estómago reclamándola. La tierra está llena de secretos pero no para mí».>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE ENSHRINEMENT OF ONE OF THE GREATEST SURPRISES IN LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE. By the author of Eartheater, "a reading revelation" (Babelia) and one of the best books of the year according to The New York Times, El País, and El Cultural, translated into twelve languages. "Dolores Reyes' narrative is intense and pressing, but it is also inscribed in the most powerful tradition of fantasy and crime fiction, all the while considering gender violence with immense lucidity." --Mariana Enríquez "I had sworn never to eat earth again, and now it burns my tongue, and my stomach roars demanding. The earth is full of secrets, but not for me." Eartheater has made two choices: moving to a new neighborhood and not using her prophetic powers ever again. Surrounded by strangers, little by little, she leaves her confinement and learns to handle herself in this new environment while waiting for her nephew's birth, the son of her brother Walter and his girlfriend, Misery. It is precisely the latter who, seeing a profitable economic potential in Eartheater's gift, encourages her to restore the visions that allowed her to find missing people. To do so, she must solve recent and old cases, reveal secrets of her family history, and put her life in the hands of a witch more powerful than she. Eartheater thinks she can trust no one but Miss Ana, who guides and advises Eartheater in her dreams. But, she soon will discover that she now has new friends and an unconditional ally--Misery.

Af jord er du kommetDolores Reyes’ er i løbet af kort tid blevet en af ny argentinsk litteraturs store samtidsstemmer. Med debutromanen Jordspiser appellerer hun til den kollektive bevidsthed og handlekraft i en tid, hvor femicides, MeToo-bevægelsen og den offentlige samtale om kvinders ret og vilkår bliver ved med at poppe op i mediebilledet. Fordi nye voldshandlinger udspiller sig igen og igen.Jordspiser er fortællingen om en teenagepige, der får synske evner, når hun spiser af den jord, som et offer har betrådt. Rygtet om denne “gave” spredes, og snart begynder folk at opsøge hende med flasker fyldt med jord: Hun skal fortælle dem sandheden om deres kære.Reyes tegner et stærkt billede af den iboende ondskab i en virkelighed, hvor alle kæmper mod den vold og fattigdom, som præger og hærger dagens Argentina, som flår familier fra hinanden og over-lader børn og unge til sig selv, så de må blive voksne før tid - mens de stadig kun er børn.“A rising star of Argentine lit offers a provocatively offbeat coming-of-age story about a teen girl with the ability to solve crimes by ingesting the dirt on which the newly dead or missing once walked.” — O, The Oprah Magazine “This brief and original novel is, in its conception, a punch to the chest—and, curiously enough, at the same time it is pure light. ” — Hinde Pomeraniec, Infobae “From the first line, Cometierra (Earth Eater) plunges its readers into a dark, fascinating universe and poses challenges through its dialogue with this time.” — Ivana Romero, Página 12“Earth Eater is a riveting tale, dark and visceral, that brilliantly explores structural violence against women. It will haunt you long after the last page is turned.” — Juan Milà, Executive Director, HarperVia SIGNATUR. Serie for identitet
