La educación física
2023
Rosario Villajos
Una tarde de finales de agosto, Catalina, que acaba de cumplir dieciséis años, abandona la casa de su mejor amiga en una urbanización de las afueras tras un desagradable percance. Cuando llega a la carretera, decide que la única forma de volver a la suya es haciendo autostop. Como a cualquier joven de su edad, le aterra subirse al coche de un extraño, pero no tanto como lo que imagina que le espera si no cumple con el estricto toque de queda impuesto por sus padres. Ambientada a principios de los años noventa, La educación física dibuja el retrato de una adolescente marcada por una relación complicada con su propio cuerpo y por el rencor hacia un mundo empeñado en convertirla en culpable por el hecho de ser mujer, y pone en evidencia los relatos sobre los que se construyen los valores de toda una generación.
In the Country of Last Things
1987
Paul Auster
A dystopian epistolary novel. In the Country of Last Things takes the form of a letter from a young woman named Anna Blume to a childhood friend. Anna has ventured into an unnamed city that has collapsed into chaos and disorder. In this bleak environment, no industry takes place and most of the population collects garbage or scavenges for objects to resell. City governments are unstable and are concerned only with collecting human waste and corpses for fuel. Anna has entered the city to search for her brother William, a journalist, and it is suggested that the Blumes come from a world to the East which has not collapsed.
The Vegetarian
2007
Han Kang
Before the nightmare, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary life. But when splintering, blood-soaked images start haunting her thoughts, Yeong-hye decides to purge her mind and renounce eating meat. In a country where societal mores are strictly obeyed, Yeong-hye's decision to embrace a more “plant-like” existence is a shocking act of subversion. And as her passive rebellion manifests in ever more extreme and frightening forms, scandal, abuse, and estrangement begin to send Yeong-hye spiraling deep into the spaces of her fantasy. In a complete metamorphosis of both mind and body, her now dangerous endeavor will take Yeong-hye—impossibly, ecstatically, tragically—far from her once-known self altogether.
