We Are Green and Trembling

La refundación más radical del clásico argentino Martín Fierro, una novela reivindicativa sobre la liberación de una mujer que abraza los paisajes desbordantes de La Pampa. Radiante y luminoso. El desierto es un prisma de perros, cardos, polvo y cielo. La China Iron, la mujer que ganó Martín Fierro en una partida de cartas, acompaña a Liz, una inglesa que va tras la pista de su marido. La China, ahora liberada de las cuerdas del gaucho, emprende un viaje de exploración por las texturas, los sabores y los placeres que le ofrecen la tierra y su nueva compañera. Después de un largo camino, llegarán al Paraíso, donde encontrarán un mundo libre, en el que las criaturas se abrazan por deseo y los ríos, los pájaros y los árboles gozan del mismo amor. Gabriela Cabezón Cámara conforma un fascinante ejercicio literario donde reimagina el universo del gran relato argentino en clave de género, a través de una apasionada aventura queer.
