Tierra fresca de su tumba / by Rivero, Giovanna,1972-author.(CARDINAL)883192;
La mansedumbre -- Pez, tortuga, buitre -- Cuanda llueve parece humano -- Socorro -- Piel de asno -- Hermano ciervo."In the tales of Fresh Earth from Her Grave there are fishermen who cross the seas of death, girls abandoned in the steppes who find in the gospel a bridge to beauty, women whose madness is nothing more than a shattered heart, old Japanese women who dig in a garden to find the best and worst of themselves, boys from a Canadian tribe who dress in animal skins so they can roar again. Characters, in short, who tear the thin membrane of ordinary life, try to touch, with the outstretched hands of childhood, the sensual dimension of the beyond and dangerously look into an inner abyss that will eventually devour them. Six stories of luminous darkness that pierce us like a wound, and that in the end make us understand the possibilities of love, justice and hope, but also, as in Edgar Allan Poe's "A descent into the Maelström", the height and depth of the abyss. "- Page 4 of cover, Google Translate."En los cuentos de Tierra fresca de su tumba aparecen pescadores que atraviesan los mares de la muerte, niñas abandonadas en las estepas que encuentran en el góspel un puente hacia la belleza, mujeres cuya demencia no es otra cosa que un corazón despedazado, ancianas japonesas que cavan en un jardín para encontrar lo mejor y lo peor de sí mismas, muchachos de una tribu del Canadá que se visten con pieles de animales para poder rugir de nuevo. Personajes, en definitiva, que rasgan la delgada membrana de la vida ordinaria, intentan tocar, con las manos extendidas de la infancia, la dimensión sensual del más allá y se asoman peligrosamente a un abismo interior que acabará por devorarlos. Seis historias de oscuridad luminosa que nos atraviesan como una herida, y que al final nos hacen comprender las posibilidades del amor, la justicia y la esperanza, pero también, como en "Un descenso al Maelström" de Edgar Allan Poe, la altura y la profundidad del abismo."--Page 4 of cover.

Years later, having outlived countless men, she leaves to find her lost daughter, traveling across the Atlantic with meager resources. She returns to a community riven with distrust, fear and hypocrisy in the wake the revolution. Hernandez' narrators have the level gaze of ordinary women reckoning with extraordinary hardship.
