General note | "Hair-raisingly good . . . the plot explodes." – Lily Meyer, The New York Review of Books<br/>“Elegant and forceful – I couldn’t put it down.” – Catherine Lacey, author of Biography of X<br/>** ONE of THE NEW YORKER'S BEST BOOKS OF 2023 **<br/>A pioneering, revelatory masterpiece of modern literature that conjures the life of 16-year-old girl living on the Argentine pampas — now in English for the very first time<br/>With echoes of Edith Wharton’s Summer, this radical feminist novel broke the silence around abortion to reshape the way women’s bodies and rights were perceived in 20th-century Argentina<br/>Perfect for readers of Tove Ditlevsen, Annie Ernaux’s Happening, and Claudia Piñeiro’s Elena Knows<br/>A radical feminist text, January was the first Argentine novel to represent rape from the survivor’s perspective and to explore the life-threatening risks pregnancy posed, in a society where abortion was both outlawed and taboo.<br/>In the sweltering Argentine pampas, all things bow to Nefer. Reeds nod when she digs her heels into her horse, unripe peaches snap and fall as she gallops past. Sickly-sweet air bends, churns in Nefer’s throat. <br/>Nefer measures the distance between her body and the table, and feels something filling her up, turning against her. Her belly swells.<br/>Desperate, Nefer visits a local medicine woman who is known to perform abortions but Nefer becomes too afraid to explain why she is truly there.<br/>She attends confession at church but cannot confide in the priest. During a fierce argument with her mother, she finally blurts out her secret.<br/>With a narcotic musicality and voice scorched through with honesty, Gallardo hangs before us an experience that has been lived and ignored a thousand times over. Nefer closes her eyes. We careen to her and we see. |
