Acclaimed author Jade Song (Chlorine) returns with her latest literary exploration: a lyrical, poignant, and heartfelt novel about the meaning of love, friendship, debt, depression, and death in New York City—a coming-of-age for a new generation, in the vein of Sally Rooney and Ottessa Moshfegh. For as far back as she can remember, Vicky has been fascinated and obsessed with death as the only inevitable thing in life. From living above a Chinatown funeral parlor to working at a celebrity start-up for bespoke urns, she has surrounded herself with death—in her home, in her work, and in her ever-growing collection of zhizha, paper creations meant to be burned for the dead, adorning the walls of her apartment. Yet, though living in Manhattan and working her dream job is all she ever wanted, she still struggles to have meaningful connections—or find any meaning at all—in her life. Too often she spends the day in bed, only drawn out from time to time by her best (and only) friend, Jen. That changes when a dating app leads her into a throuple with an artist and a labor organizer, who offer exactly the kind of love she needs. For some time, it’s perfect, but no one understands better than Vicky that all things must end. As doubts grow over the love in her life, her friendship with Jen, and her professional success, the oddly comforting abstraction of death starts becoming something else altogether. With everything beginning to feel hollow and temporary, Vicky must decide how to keep moving forward. To try and hold on to what she has, or to once again do what she does destroy.

"El paisaje que eres siempre será el paisaje que cargas". Chilco, una novela de amor, rebeldía y amistad. Una pareja sobrevive en el centro de la ciudad Capital, sin sentirla como un hogar. Marina, la narradora, es nieta de una migrante peruana y trabaja en el archivo del Museo de Historia Natural y Social, mientras que Pascale carga la tradición de su familia lafkenche de la isla de Chilco, al sur del país, subsistiendo gracias a trabajos de carpintería. Su mejor amiga, Leila, tuvo que dejar Haití para probar suerte en este país, que avanza a paso firme hacia su destrucción. La caída de un edificio en Gran Avenida, los socavones que comienzan a aparecer sin una causa y un movimiento social que se empeña en demolerlo todo son las señales de una decadencia que parece irreversible, al tiempo que la pareja y su amiga se organizan y luchan por una existencia más digna. Es en ese momento que Marina y Pascale deciden migrar a Chilco, donde la promesa de una vida más plena parece ser posible, lejos de la explotación y la violencia colonial de la Capital. Chilco es, entonces, el símbolo de un espacio en el que las culturas de este continente pueden expresarse. Daniela Catrileo, escritora y filósofa que suma numerosos reconocimientos por sus libros Río herido , Guerra florida y Piñén , nos entrega una novela dolorosa y bella, de un barroco tan inusual como necesario en Chile. Una suma de culturas, colores y voces que representa con maestría las complejidades de nuestra realidad actual.
