Sinossi
"In contemporary Argentine literature, Paradises is an almost perfect novel."—Tonica
Albert Camus's The Outsider reimagined with a female lead in in twenty-first-century Buenos Aires.
Recently widowed, a young woman leaves the countryside for Buenos Aires with her four-year-old son where she seeks to build a new life for herself. She finds work in the zoo and moves into the human zoo of a squatted tower block at the invitation of one of its residents, to whom she acts as nurse, giving morphine injections.
Iosi Havilio's captivating voice has brought him cult status in Argentina.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Paradises might be a reimagining of Camus Outsider but in female form and living in 21st-century Buenos Aires. Our narrator allows the hazards of death and chance encounters to lead her through the city, where she sleepwalks into a job in the zoos reptile house, and another administering morphine to one of the oddball residents of the squat that she and her young son move into. Is this life in the shadows, an underworld of cut-price Christmases, drugs and dealers, or is this simply life? And why do snakes seem to be invading every aspect of it? A young mother learns to survive among the snakes, sleaze, and slums of Buenos Aires. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
