«La carne» is the contemporary fiction novel by Rosa Montero, published by Alfaguara in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Soledad, a sixty-year-old woman, hires a gigolo to accompany her to an opera night and make her ex-lover jealous, but a violent and unforeseen event triggers a disturbing and volcanic relationship. Set in Madrid, the novel interweaves Soledad's life with the stories of cursed writers who star in the exhibition she is preparing for the National Library, and addresses with humor and rage the passage of time, the fear of death, failure, and the need to love.
The work belongs to Alfaguara's Narrativa Hispánica collection. National Literature Prize 2017.
Recommended for readers of contemporary literary fiction seeking a narrative about desire, maturity, and complex relationships.
Periodista y novelista madrileña, columnista de El País, autora de Historia del Rey Transparente, La hija del Caníbal y la saga de la detective Bruna Husky.
