Paradises are trees that abound in Buenos Aires, the fruits of which are known as poison beads. This is what the novel is about: the many kinds of paradise and the poisons that inhabit them.' Iosi Havilio Paradises might be a reimagining of Camus' Outsider - but in female form and living in 21st-century Buenos Aires. Our narrator allows the hazards of death and chance encounters to lead her through the city, where she sleepwalks into a job in the zoo's reptile house, and another administering morphine to one of the oddball residents of the squat that she and her young son move into. Is this life in the shadows, an underworld of cut-price Christmases, drugs and dealers, or is this simply life? And why do snakes seem to be invading every aspect of it? Paradises returns to the enigmatic female characters of Havilio's first novel, Open Door - and has already been highly praised by Beatriz Sarlo, perhaps the most influential critic in his native Argentina. Thoughtful, yet unafraid of squalor or the perils of insecurity, this is a voice for right now, obliquely critical, grimly comic.mehr

Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
'Havilio has found just the right tone and understated register to describe extremity. Paradises takes place in an irresistible, ghostly normality.' Beatriz Sarlo 'An original voice that does not resort to tried and tested formulae.' El Pais 'In contemporary Argentine literature, Paradises is an almost perfect novel.' Revista Tonicamehr

Autor

Iosi Havilio was born in Buenos Aires in 1974. Open Door (published by And Other Stories, 2011) was his first novel. He has become a cult author in Argentina after Open Door was highly praised by the outspoken and influential writer Rodolfo Fogwill and by the most influential Argentine critic, Beatriz Sarlo. Paradises (And Other Stories, 2013) is his highly-anticipated third novel.
