description
ujeres enfrentan miedos, soledad, mortalidad y un anhelo inquietante que no les permite descansar. Una novela disruptiva que borra los límites del género, de manos de una de las nuevas voces más interesantes del gótico feminista en Latinoamérica.

Es el ocaso de las bacanales sangrientas en Europa, del asesinato y los festines sin fin. En el siglo XIX, una vampira llega de Europa a la costa de Buenos Aires, y por segunda vez en su vida observa cómo los pueblos se transforman en una ciudad cosmopolita, una que pronto quedará devastada por la fiebre amarilla. Debe adaptarse, mezclarse con los humanos y ser discreta.

En el Buenos Aires de hoy, una mujer se encuentra en un impasse mientras lucha con la enfermedad terminal de su madre y su propia relación con la maternidad. Cuando se encuentra por primera vez con la vampira en un cementerio, algo se enciende en el interior de ambas mujeres... y cruzan un umbral del que no hay vuelta atrás.

Con ecos de Frankenstein, de Mary Shelley, y escrito en la línea de escritoras feministas góticas como Shirley Jackson, Daphne du Maurier y Carmen María Machado, Sed juega con las fronteras del género mientras explora los límites de la instrumentalidad femenina, el poder devorador del deseo y la frágil vitalidad de incluso la más inmortal de las criaturas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Across two different time periods, two women confront fear, loneliness, mortality, and a haunting yearning that will not let them rest. 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.
