Description de l'événement

Ecuadorian writer María Fernanda Ampuero presents her book Visceral in a conversation with Carmen Rioja at the Santa Ana Theater of La Biblioteca.

María Fernanda Ampuero (Guayaquil, Ecuador, 1976). She studied literature, was a teacher, and has also worked as a journalist. Pelea de gallos establishes María Fernanda Ampuero among the most prominent figures of contemporary Latin American narrative. In 2021, she published a collection of stories titled Sacrificios humanos, which has earned her critical acclaim.

To date, she has published two books of chronicles, Lo que aprendí en la peluquería and Permiso de residencia. In 2016, she won the Cosecha Eñe short story prize. Her books Pelea de Gallos (2018), Sacrificios humanos (2021), and Visceral (2024) have been published by the prestigious editorial Páginas de Espuma, translated into several languages, positioning her as one of the most important voices in current Latin American literature.

Visceral

A covid-infected corpse lies shrouded on a domestic sofa under a parasol. Next to it, a sign reads: "We called 911 and there is no help!" It is a morning in Guayaquil during the year 2020. Full pandemic. This image of desolate death explains what kind of blow and descent Visceral is.

A book between autobiography, memory, and autofiction, a sort of manifesto crossed by current events that travels through fears and obsessions, experiences and memories, discoveries and searches of María Fernanda Ampuero.

Violence against women. The violated body, the rejected body. Desire and sexuality. Mental health, obesity, childhood. Motherhood and maternity. Postcolonialism, ecopolitics, feminism. Writing and reading. A monstrously honest, raw, demonic book, with a high degree of furious exhortation. A book by María Fernanda Ampuero. She dares.
