MARÍA OSPINA PIZANO
"After her forceful debut, Azares del cuerpo, María Ospina Pizano returns with a novel that is animals and movement: a migratory tanager struggles with the detours imposed by the lights of the city and its buildings, an orphaned porcupine is fed human milk, two bitches take refuge together from their abandonments and a cockerel just out of the ground goes astray. These beings fly, snuggle, crawl, growl, lick, sniff, climb, and scavenge through these pages of extraordinary literature. Ospina Pizano gives us flashes of life through those creatures that exist in plain sight without being seen, but here (and always) are witnesses to human wounds." --From publisher description.
