{"product_id":"dead-girls","title":"Dead Girls","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this brutal, gripping novel, Selva Almada narrates the case of three small-town teenage girls murdered in the 1980's in the interior of Argentina.Three deaths without culprits: 19-year old Andrea Danne, stabbed in her own bed; 15-year old María Luisa Quevedo, raped, strangled, and dumped in wasteland; and 20-year old Sarita Mundín, whose disfigured body was found on a river bank. Almada takes these and other tales of abused women to weave together a dry, straightforward portrait of gender violence that surpasses national borders and speaks to readers' consciousness all over the world.Following the success of \u003cem\u003eThe Wind That Lays Waste\u003c\/em\u003e, internationally acclaimed Argentinian author Selva Almada dives into the heart of this problem with a reported novel, comparable to Truman Capote's \u003cem\u003eIn Cold Blood\u003c\/em\u003e or John Hersey's \u003cem\u003eHiroshima\u003c\/em\u003e, in response to the urgent need for attention to the ongoing catastrophe that is femicide.Not a police chronicle, not a thriller, but a contemporary noir novel that lives in the hearts of these women and the men who have abused them. Almada captures the invisible, and with lyrical brutality, blazes a new trail in journalistic fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\r","brand":"Selva Almada, Annie McDermott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44445818093804,"sku":"9781916277847","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781916277847.jpg?v=1723765673","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/dead-girls","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
