Narrativas hispánicas: Los idólatras y todos los que aman

More about the book

With her hands trembling with grief and shock, Elizabeth Jameson leaves her cat's pristine corpse on Rita's kitchen table, her tenant, also a doctoral student of her son, Florian. The animal had exhausted its seven lives the night before, but, once buried, it reappeared at her front door. Rita consoles it, overcome with guilt, knowing that her dog, Kurt, was responsible, and that the crime could cost her her house and her future. Based on this premise, Adriana Murad Konings surprises with a singular novel in which mourning the death of a pet opens the doors to a crazy universe--with a comedy worthy of Muriel Spark--that is addictive and full of emotion.
