书籍简介

这是一部引人入胜、荣获大奖的小说，讲述了分离、迁徙和被遗弃的爱。

一位不知名的叙述者独自一人漂泊在巴塞罗那，她始终无法摆脱弟弟迭戈去世的阴影。迭戈，这个她曾在墨西哥抚养长大的小男孩，当时他们的母亲在西班牙艰难谋生。迭戈热爱吸血鬼周末乐队，梦想成为一名飞行员。迭戈和她一样，憎恨马德里。

如今，她手捧着弟弟的骨灰，不得不返回墨西哥。回忆如影随形，她以令人心碎的笔触，细腻地回忆起他们年少时的生活，直至悲剧的发生：移民带来的深深孤独；兄妹俩的分离，她独自前往巴塞罗那闯荡世界；她积极参与反对劳工剥削的活动，却因与一位自以为是的恋人之间动荡的关系而受到威胁；以及与弟弟那场令人心碎的对峙。在失去迭戈的悲痛与愤怒交织中，她拼凑出一个关于疏离，却也展现出惊人勇气与希望的故事。

《食灰》由梅根·麦克道尔精湛翻译，字里行间闪烁着黑色幽默，大胆地直面移民为建立美好生活而面临的个人困境和制度性挑战。这部小说已在欧洲引起国际轰动，巩固了布伦达·纳瓦罗作为文坛独树一帜、举足轻重的作家的地位。

An arrestingly beautiful, award-winning novel about separation, migration, and love left behind.

Alone and adrift in Barcelona, an unnamed narrator is haunted by the death of her teenage brother, Diego. Diego, the little boy she helped raise in Mexico while their mother struggled to make a living in Spain. Diego, who loved Vampire Weekend and dreamed of becoming a pilot. Diego, who hated Madrid as much as she did.

Now, his ashes in hand, she must return to Mexico. Plagued by memories, she recounts their young lives leading up to tragedy in blistering detail: the acute loneliness that accompanied their emigration; the siblings’ first separation, when she left for Barcelona to make her own way in the world; her activism against labor abuses, which is threatened by her tumultuous relationship with an entitled lover; and the final, heavyhearted confrontation with her brother. Caught between rage and heartbreak over the loss of Diego, she pieces together a story of alienation, but also of surprising courage and hope.

Masterfully translated by Megan McDowell, and shot through with flashes of dark humor, Eating Ashes boldly confronts both the intimate and systemic struggles faced by migrants striving to build a life worth living. Already an international sensation across Europe, this novel cements Brenda Navarro as a breathtakingly unique and vital voice in literature.
