Uno de los mejores libros del 2018 seg???n Babelia. Permafrost es el sorprendente debut de Eva Baltasar, una historia contundente, ???ntima y carnal de una protagonista con pulsiones suicidas que se protege del exterior pero se entrega con intensidad al sexo con otras mujeres, la literatura y el arte. El permafrost es esa capa de la tierra permanentemente congelada y es tambi???n la membrana que cubre a la protagonista de esta novela. Escrita en primera persona, nos presenta a una mujer en etapa de formaci???n que se protege del exterior, que percibe la superficialidad en todo cuanto la rodea y huye de un entorno que nada tiene que ver con su manera de entender la vida: una madre obsesionada con la salud, omnipresente y controladora, y una hermana que afronta su existencia convencional con medicaci???n y un positivismo irritante. La protagonista, que siente pulsiones suicidas, no permite que nadie se le acerque demasiado, pero al mismo tiempo se entrega con intensidad al sexo con otras mujeres, la literatura y el arte. El pulso entre el hedonismo, los placeres m???s carnales y la muerte es constante en esta novela, as??? como el tono mordaz de una protagonista que nos gana con su inteligencia y su humor negr???simo desde la primera p???gina. Repleto de im???genes po???ticas, contundentes y muy f???sicas, este car???cter tan palpable del texto no es gratuito en una novela que nos habla del cuerpo, del sexo, del yo; una obra aguda y directa que reivindica la libertad femenina en el placer y en la soledad. Eva Baltasar inicia con Permafrost un tr???ptico de protagonistas femeninas que quiere explorar distintas etapas en la vida de las mujeres. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Permafrost is Eva Baltasar's surprising debut; a powerful, intimate, and raw story of a protagonist with suicidal impulses who shields herself from the outside world, but passionately gives herself to sex with other women, literature, and art. Permafrost is that layer of the earth that is permanently frozen, and it is also the membrane that covers the protagonist in this novel. Written in first person, it introduces us to a woman at the beginning of her life who protects herself from the outside world, one who never moves past the surface with anything around her, and who tries to flee from an environment that has nothing to do with the way she perceives life. A movement between self-satisfaction, bodily pleasures, and death is constant in this novel, as well as the riveting tone by a protagonist who wins the reader over with her intelligence and dark humor from the very first page. This text, full of poetic, forceful, and very physical imagery, talks about the body, sex, and the self; it is a sharp and direct work that reclaims female freedom when it comes to pleasure and solitude. With Permafrost , Eva Baltasar begins a trilogy of female protagonists that explores different stages of women's lives.
