Fury— Clyo Mendoza

In a desert dotted with war-torn villages, two deserters from opposing sides discover a dark truth about their family. Vicente Barrera, a yarn salesman who once went from town to town seducing women and fathering children with them, spends his last years tied up in a room, transformed into an enraged dog. María has found in Salvador a love so profound it seems to dissolve them into each other, blending their dreams as if conceived by the same mind. It is in this territory that the characters' destinies intertwine, that their wounds are inherited and bleed. In this stark landscape where fury and desire find their way, a story unfolds about children – their bodies and affections – but also about the women who surround them: mothers, lovers, companions.

After being awarded the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz International Poetry Prize, Clyo Mendoza writes a novel of extraordinary beauty, where language embarks on a dizzying journey through eroticism, transitions of consciousness, and the possibility of different beings inhabiting the same body. Through an exploration of madness, Furia offers a moving questioning of love, violence, and the suffering it brings.
