Vicente Barrera, a salesman who swept into the lives of women who both hated and revered him, spends his last days tied up like a mad dog. A morgue worker, Salvador, gets lost in the desert and mistakes the cactus for the person he loves. Over the echoes of the stories of these broken men - and of their mothers, lovers and companions - Mendoza explores her characters' passions in a way that simmers on the page, and then explodes with pain, fear and desire in a landscape that imprisons them. After winning the International Sor Juana IneÌs de la Cruz Poetry Prize, Clyo Mendoza has written a novel of extraordinary beauty where language embarks on a hallucinatory trip through eroticism, the transitions of conscience, and the possibility of multiple beings inhabiting a single body. In this journey through madness, incest, sexual abuse, infidelity, and silence, Fury offers a moving questioning of the complexity of love and suffering. The desert is where these characters' destinies become intertwined, where their wounds are inherited and bled dry. Readers will be blown away by the sensitivity of the writing, and will shudder at the way violence conveyed with a poetic forcefulness and a fierce mastery of the Mexican oral tradition"-- $c Provided by publisher. 700 1 $a MacSweeney, Christina, $e translator. 941 $a 4 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240702012037.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013523.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240402012824.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240402011824.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5105BDACAAD111EE853AF3262BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
