Dead Lands by Nuria Bendicho
A violent death unleashes the story of a cursed lineage. Jon was shot in the back, in an isolated house where the only other occupants were his family. Who pulled the trigger? Thirteen characters. Thirteen different points of view. Dead Lands is a kaleidoscopic narrative that unfurls an atavistic universe where characters are burdened by savage origins, two deaths, and a dark secret. A literary descendant of William Faulkner's 'Absalom, Absalom!', the novel recalls the obsessive rhythm of Thomas Bernhard, and Merce Rodoreda's treatment of anguish in 'Death in Spring'. Nuria Bendicho's work asks difficult questions about human nature and takes us into a sordid world, one from which it is difficult to emerge without feeling both anger and compassion.
Nuria Bendicho (Barcelona - Catalunya, 1995) spent her youth travelling and reading in libraries and she is a mostly a self-taught writer. Her debut novel 'Dead Lands' has gained literary acclaim since its first publication, and is currently at its fifth print run (in Catalan only) and has been just translated into Spanish and published by Sajalin editores.
