Mejor libro del año en: Barnes & Noble • Book Riot • BookPage • Goodreads • Powell’s • The Observer • HuffPost • ElleSantiago acaba de fallecer con solo once años. Su madre, afligida, siguiendo un feroz instinto maternal y la dudosa lógica de un viejo cuento popular, extrae un pedazo del pulmón del pequeño y lo cuida hasta que este crece, cobra conciencia y se transforma en el voraz Monstrilio, a quien mantiene oculto en la deteriorada mansión familiar en la Ciudad de México. Con el tiempo, Monstrilio comienza a parecerse al Santiago que una vez fue. Sin embargo, sus impulsos amenazan con destruir esta frágil segunda oportunidad de vivir.Monstrilio es una conmovedora meditación sobre el duelo, la aceptación y los aspectos inquietantes del amor y la lealtad. Gerardo Sámano Córdova combina una imaginación audaz con una evocadora prosa y una profunda intensidad emocional. Narrada en cuatro actos que recorren el mundo, desde Brooklyn hasta Berlín, Monstrilio ofrece un retrato catártico y preciso de lo que significa ser humano.«Extraña y brillante, Monstrilio es una especie de Frankenstein moderno». —ElleENGLISH DESCRIPTIONBest Book of the Year at: Barnes & Noble • Book Riot • BookPage • Goodreads • Powell’s • The Observer • HuffPost • ElleSantiago has just died at only eleven years old. His grieving mother, following a fierce maternal instinct and the dubious logic of an old folktale, removes a piece of the boy’s lung and tends to it until it grows, gains consciousness, and transforms into the ravenous Monstrilio, whom she keeps hidden in the decaying family mansion in Mexico City. Over time, Monstrilio begins to resemble the Santiago he once was. Yet his impulses threaten to destroy this fragile second chance at life.Monstrilio is a moving meditation on grief, acceptance, and the unsettling aspects of love and loyalty. Gerardo Sámano Córdova blends bold imagination with evocative prose and deep emotional intensity. Told in four acts that span the globe, from Brooklyn to Berlin, Monstrilio offers a cathartic and precise portrait of what it means to be human.“Strange and brilliant, Monstrilio is a kind of modern Frankenstein.” —Elle Read more
