Vuelve con once perturbadores relatos Elvira Navarro, una de las grandes narradoras en lengua española.

Un falso inventor lleva conejos a una isla para que acaben con los nidos de unos pájaros cuyo nombre nadie sabe. En la penumbra nocturna, una especie extinguida hace miles de años le sale al paso a un archiduque. Los sueños de los clientes de un hotel son objeto de un insólito hurto. El fantasma de una madre abre una cuenta en Facebook y le pide amistad a su hija. Una pareja a punto de romper deambula por un albergue inhóspito. En una banlieue parisina desaparece un tramo de avenida.

En estos perturbadores once relatos hay transformaciones fabulosas que no son vividas como una liberación, sino con miedo. La implacable precisión de Elvira Navarro nos lleva por vidas que se deforman de manera fatal, arrastrándonos también a nosotros. Leer a Navarro es convocar una sombra aterradora, y de la misma manera que al caer la noche lo conocido se torna profundamente extraño, en estos cuentos los personajes se pierden en habitaciones cerradas, en isletas cenagosas, en laberintos mentales que quiebran la normalidad y conducen hasta un alucinante ruido blanco del que ya no se puede escapar.

Con La isla de los conejos la autora desnuda los mimbres de lo real por medio de una escritura sutil y llena de clarividencia, que transgrede los significados y nos entrega, a cambio, una hiriente lucidez.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Combining the gritty surrealism of David Lynch with the explosive interior meditations of Clarice Lispector, the stories in Elvira Navarro's Rabbit Island traverse the fickle, often terrifying terrain between madness and freedom. In the title story, a so-called "non-inventor" conducts an experiment on an island inhabited exclusively by birds and is horrified by what the results portend. "Myotragus" bears witness to a man of privilege's understanding of the world being violently disrupted by the sight of a creature long thought extinct. Elsewhere, an unsightly "paw" grows from a writer's earlobe; a grandmother floats silently in the corner of a room.

These eleven stories are psychogeographies of dingy hotel rooms, shape-shifting cities, and graveyards. They act as microscopes fixed upon the regions of our interior lives we often neglect, where the death of God and the failures of institutions have given way to alternative modes of making sense of the world.
