Barata Minha Barata

Synopsis of Barata Minha Barata

«Barata Minha Barata» is a dystopian-inspired tale by Alberte Momán Noval, published by Chiado in paperback (108 pages, in Portuguese).

The cockroach symbolizes the hidden that conditions the environment: a mechanism that feeds on the system and transforms itself to perpetuate. The narrative follows those who live alongside this machinery and suffer the disciplinary norms that keep it active, within a dystopian atmosphere between total surveillance and the most insignificant lack.

For readers of short fiction and literary dystopias, and for those interested in the Portuguese-language narrative of the Galician author.
