Permafrost
SYNOPSIS
Longlisted for 2022 Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize
Permafrost’s no-bullshit lesbian narrator is an uninhibited lover and a wickedly funny observer of modern life. Desperate to get out of Barcelona, she goes to Brussels, ‘because a city whose symbol is a little boy pissing was a city I knew I would like’; as an au pair in Scotland, she develops a hatred of the colour green. And everywhere she goes, she tries to break out of the roles set for her by family and society, chasing escape wherever it can be found: love affairs, travel, thoughts of suicide.
Full of powerful, physical imagery, this prize-winning debut novel by acclaimed Catalan poet Eva Baltasar was a word-of-mouth hit in its own language. It is a breathtakingly forthright call for women’s freedom to embrace both pleasure and solitude, and speaks boldly of the body, of sex, and of the self.

Permafrost
Lúcia Sousa
Outro livro que centra diferentes relacionamentos e as dinâmicas por que cada um atravessa. Numa voz super distinta e original, Eva Baltasar traz consigo uma narradora teimosa, corajosa e gay que num mundo cheio de ódio, se consegue aceitar e nos reconta como é ter uma relação no século XXI e como podemos funcionar em par. Uma leitura super curta mas que enche o coração a qualquer leitor com a sua perspicácia e humor. Recomendo a 100% a todos aqueles que ambicionam uma leitura diferente vinda de uma das escritoras mais originais de Espanha. Incrível !!
