A breakout, genre-blurring novel from one of the most exciting new voices of Latin America's feminist Gothic. It is the twilight of Europe's bloody bacchanals, of murder and feasting without end. In the nineteenth century, a vampire arrives from Europe to the coast of Buenos Aires and, for the second time in her life, watches as villages transform into a cosmopolitan city, one that will soon be ravaged by yellow fever. She must adapt, intermingle with humans, and be discreet. In present-day Buenos Aires, a woman finds herself at an impasse as she grapples with her mother's terminal illness and her own relationship with motherhood. When she first encounters the vampire in a cemetery, something ignites within the two women - and they cross a threshold from which there's no turning back. With echoes of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and written in the vein of feminist Gothic writers like Shirley Jackson, Daphne du Maurier, and Carmen Maria Machado, Thirst plays with the boundaries of genre while exploring the limits of female agency, the consuming power of desire, and the fragile vitality of even the most immortal of creatures"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $v Fiction. $9 82588 650 0 $a Feminism $v Fiction. $9 84408 655 7 $a Vampire fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $9 200624 700 1 $a Cleary, Heather, $e translator. $9 207143 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Yuszczuk, Marina, 1978- $t Thirst $d New York : Dutton, 2024 $z 9780593472071 $w (DLC) 2023040151 941 $a 4 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045426.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240402012732.0 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323013028.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240227010607.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F09B5DCCD53D11EE9A262BB830ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
