CHAMANES ELECTRICOS EN LA FIESTA DEL SOL by MONICA OJEDA
59000
Phew! This book gave me anxiety at times. Experimental horror that explores themes of religion and cultism, mother-daughter relationships, and adolescence. I admired the risks Ojeda took with her writing, but I felt that the complexities of the story weren’t managed well in the end. I’m left feeling more perplexed than anything. Shout out to Sarah Booker for her excellent translation!
Yep, horrifying. I mean fascinating, new views into the horror of girlhood, just delivered on the creepy.
After two years of translating this, I still barely understand it, which is one of the things I love about it. Such violence and such beauty in language that is absolutely female.
