Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Winner of the Spanish National Fiction PrizeSummer ends, the season changes, and Coro, an artist frightened off by what her own paintings may represent, gets in her car and drives for hours in the middle of the night until she chances upon Betania, an isolated house existing in a world of its own. It's an unfamiliar place inhabited exclusively by women who, strangely, all seem to know her. Like adherents of an ancient cult, the women of Betania all dress the same, carry out strange rites and celebrations, and live alongside goats and innumerable dogs against a landscape dominated by an immense, imposing mountain that seems to block out the sunlight. Theirs is a hierarchical, closed, and restless universe where--as the other women tell her and despite her attempts to escape the area--Coro may finally discover what it means to be part of something. A Hotel California of the human heart, Pilar Ad n's Of Beasts and Fowl is a novel about the things that we do without knowing why, but that have an explanation that perhaps we will some day come to understand.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Winner of Spain'sPremio Nacionalde Narrativa in 2023"A funerary poem about a bird flying underground; a psychodrama of two sisters drowning in the mirror of memory; a center of a necrophilic labyrinth; Virginia Woolf's Rhoda lost in John Hawkes's Travesty. Pilar Adon's novel is the most haunting I have read in years."-Mircea Crtrescu, winner of the Dublin Literary AwardSummer is ending and Coro, an artist frightened of what her paintings of her dead sister may represent, gets in her car one night and starts to drive, with no plan or destination. After a wrong turn down a narrow dirt road, she runs out of gas outside the gates of a large and isolated house called Bethany, a place inhabited exclusively by a small group of women who seem to exist in a closed, hierarchical system a world apart. The women of Bethany live closely with the natural and animal world, celebrate rites and rituals, and, like devotees of an ancestral cult, all dress the same. Most unsettlingly, they seem to know who Coro is already. In fact, they have been expecting her.How the women came to live in Bethany, why they believe Coro is destined to be there, and most pressing, why won't they let her leave are questions Coro must face as she struggles between the instinct to escape and the sense that something larger is at work.When Bethany's careful balance is disturbed-with violent consequences-by the appearance of a mysterious man who claims the house and land are his, Coro will find herself forced to meet her own ghosts, reckon with her choices, and accept that Bethany might just be where she belongs.Winner of Spain's Premio Nacionalde Narrativa in 2023, Of Beasts and Fowls introduces a grand talent new to English audiences in a haunting novel rife with natural descriptions, signs and symbols, and a sense of the uncanny.
