The mysteries of kinship (families born into and families made) take disconcerting and familiar shapes in these refreshingly frank short stories. A family is haunted by a beast that splatters fruit against its walls every night, another undergoes a near-collision with a bus on the way home from the beach. Mothers are cold, fathers are absent—we know these moments in the abstract, but Adaui makes each as uncanny as our own lives: close but not yet understood.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49555718537489,"sku":"GOR013420429","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49581374636305,"sku":"GOR012494852","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742721155345,"sku":"NGR9781913867195","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51057629298961,"sku":"NIN9781913867195","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52526803288337,"sku":"GOR014549614","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1913867196.jpg?v=1751156128"},{"product_id":"quienes-somos-ahora-who-are-we-now-book-katya-adaui-9788439742265","title":"Quiénes somos ahora \/ Who Are We Now?","description":"«\u003cb\u003eUna lengua que zigzaguea vulnera la reglamentaria sintaxis, para concentrarse en fogonazo, encabalgamiento y dispersión del estilo nominal.

Composed of finely spun memories in a time of intimacy, this novel reveals itself as a settling of scores between a woman and her parents: a filial narrative with which the story aims to dispel forgetfulness, scatter ashes, and reestablish boundaries. It is also as a declaration of love and grief that does not exclude the memory of abuse, nor the search for an independence that allows the character to cease being a daughter.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWho Are We Now?\u003c\/i\u003e ratifies Katya Adaui's incomparable voice within the concert of Peruvian narratives of the twenty-first century.
