PINK SLIME - FERNANDA TRÍAS KARTONIERT (TB)

Winner of the Uruguayan National Literature Prize for Fiction  the Bartolomé-Hidalgo Fiction
Prize  and the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Literature Prize. A port city is in the grips of an
ecological crisis. The river has filled with toxic algae  and a deadly 'red wind' blows through
its streets  much of the coast has been evacuated as the wealthy migrate inland to safety 
leaving the rest to shelter in abandoned houses as blackouts and food shortages abound. The
unnamed narrator is one of those who has stayed. She spends her days trying to disentangle
herself from the two relationships that had once meant everything to her  and looking after the
young boy who's been placed in her care. As the world in which they move becomes smaller  she
reflects on the collapse of the other emotional ties in her life and the emergence of a radical
yet tender solitude. With striking prose and vivid characters  the multi-award-winning Pink
Slime offers profound reflections on motherhood  marriage  and caregiving  set against the
backdrop of a crumbling city.
