<p><div><i>Malayerba</i>&nbsp;is one of the most violent books of recent times, as well as one of the most interesting, necessary, and extraordinary. It is a fragmented chronicle of the violence of drug trafficking in northern Mexico and how it appears reflected in everyday life and language in the area. This book marks Javier Valdés Cárdenas's definitive entrance into the genre in Mexico.<br /> <br /> <i>'Malayerba' es uno de los libros más violentos que se han publicado en los últimos años, y también de los más interesantes, precisos, extraordinarios. Es la crónica, necesariamente fragmentaria, de la violencia del narcotráfico en el norte de México, o más bien de la experiencia de ese acaecer violento tal como se manifiesta cotidianamente en aquella zona del país: la vivencia de los niños, de los empleados y empleadas, de los ciudadanos de a pie; de los narcos incipientes y los pesados. Y es también un poderoso registro sonoro de la infiltración de esa experiencia terrible en la lengua de todos los días, en el habla de la calle. Con este libro, Javier Valdés Cárdenas entra de manera definitiva en la historia de la crónica en México, y lo hace por la puerta grande.</i></div></p>

Genre Fiction

<p><div>Three characters are united by fire--a firefighter, a corpse incinerator, and a coal miner. Their setting and time could be any, but everything is perpetually on the edge of collapse. Coal and corpses provide society's energy, jobs are violent and alienating, and life is a series of reactions where the future is irrelevant.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <i>&#8203;Carbón animal es la historia de tres hombres vinculados por el fuego: el bombero Ernesto Wesley, su hermano Ronivon, incinerador de cadáveres, y Edgar Wilson, minero del carbón. Los tres malviven en un lugar que podría estar tanto en Brasil como en cualquier otra parte, siempre que sea tierra arrasada; durante una época que podría ser cualquiera, siempre que todo esté acabado o a punto de acabarse. En ese tiempo y lugar, la energía se obtiene del carbón mineral y los cadáveres, los oficios son violentos o alienantes y la vida es una serie de reacciones donde el futuro no tiene ningún papel. En ese paisaje desolador, Ana Paula Maia es capaz de construir una novela profundamente lírica y humana, un drama corregido por un humor incendiario y cargado de imágenes casi cinematográficas.</i></div></p>
