Book Synopsis



Un thriller literario oscuro, femenino y visceral sobre la violencia del deseo, la envidia creativa y la pulsión de escribir


Durante un invierno insólito en la Ciudad de México, Eugenia Cuevas --una escritora obcecada por el hambre de triunfo-- asesina y desmiembra a su amiga y rival literaria, convencida de que ella le ha robado no sólo su novela, sino su voz y un futuro exitoso... Mientras la nieve cubre la ciudad y lo vuelve todo más nítido e irreal, Eugenia narra, con una belleza perturbadora, cómo le arranca a su víctima los ojos, la nariz, la lengua, las orejas, los dedos... Cada parte sustraída simboliza una facultad creativa, un talento, una forma de habitar el mundo que ella anhela poseer.


A través de esta confesión, El invierno llegó sin avisar entrelaza el presente de ese acto brutal con la historia de Eugenia: su infancia literaria, su relación conflictiva con el cuerpo, su formación en la escritura y el legado de su bisabuela: una escritora olvidada cuyo recuerdo resuena en las páginas de un diario.


Una perturbadora novela sobre una escritora dispuesta a matar, con un nivel de detalle que recuerda a American Psycho o El perfume, pero desde una mirada femenina e intelectual.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A dark, female-driven literary thriller -- visceral and unflinching -- about the violence of desire, creative envy, and the urge to write


During an unprecedented winter in Mexico City, Eugenia Cuevas --a writer consumed by a hunger for success-- murders and dismembers her friend and literary rival, convinced that the woman stole not only her novel but her voice and a prosperous future... As snow blankets the city, making everything sharper and more unreal, Eugenia recounts, in a disturbingly beautiful way, how she rips out her victim's eyes, nose, tongue, ears, fingers... Each stolen part symbolizes a creative faculty, a talent, a way of being in the world that she desperately wants to possess.


Through this confession, El invierno llegó sin avisar (The Winter Arrived Without Warning) weaves the present brutality with Eugenia's story: her literary childhood, her fraught relationship with her body, her training as a writer, and the legacy of her great-grandmother -- a forgotten author whose memory echoes through the pages of a journal.


A chilling novel about a writer willing to kill, rendered with a level of grisly detail that evokes American Psycho and Perfume, yet told from a distinctly female and intellectual perspective.
