Misery It is the second novel by Dolores Reyes, direct continuation of Earth-eater, and one of the most powerful works of recent Latin American literature. Narrated by two voices, between Earth-eater and Misery, immerses us in a story marked by violence, poverty and female bonds as a form of resistance.
Set in the Greater Buenos Aires, the novel combines magical realism, thriller and social criticism, and revisits the protagonist's gift for searching for missing people in a wounded but still hopeful Argentina.
Recognized by The New York Times, The Country and The Cultural as one of the best novels of 2023, Misery consolidates Dolores Reyes as a key voice in current feminist and Latin American narrative.
Dolores Reyes (Buenos Aires, 1978) is a writer, teacher and feminist activist. With Earth-eater (2019) achieved international recognition and has continued her exploration of magical realism and social memory with this second novel, which delves into family ties and social conflict from the female experience.
