Synopsis "Débil Mental, la (in Spanish)"

En La débil mental se tensan al límite los vínculos afectivos y familiares entre una madre y su joven hija, quienes viven casi a escondidas del mundo, entre el abandono del bosque. Ariana Harwicz consigue dilucidar un retrato bucólico pintado con colores agresivos que incomodan al espectador y al mismo tiempo lo capturan hasta la imposibilidad de dejar de observar. Ariana Harwicz vive en Francia desde el año de 2007. Die, my love, su versión en inglés, fue nominada al prestigioso Man Booker Prize 2018 e integra la short list ganadora del Republic of Consciousness Prize, así como la short list Del Valle Inclán Translation Prize. La traducción al alemán se ubicó en la short list del Internationaler Literaturpreis 2019. Sus relatos han sido publicados en The New Yorker, Granta, The White Review, Letras Libres, Revista Eñe, entre muchas otras.
