LA MONUMENTAL NOVELA DE UNA GENERACIÓN El libro del año en la categorÃa de ficción en los premios que otorgan las librerÃas de Madrid La joven Sara Barquinero, elogiada por Carlos Zanón, Nuria Labari, Andrés Barba, Elvira Navarro, Elizabeth Duval y Luna Miguel, se consagra con una obra asombrosa.
«La novela española de mayor ambición en los últimos años. La anhedonia y el escapismo de Barquinero se encuentran aquà con lo mejor de La broma infinita de David Foster Wallace y las novelas de Don DeLillo, entrecruzándose con los ecos de 2666 de Roberto Bolaño, Ottessa Moshfegh, Mariana Enriquez o Michel Houellebecq . - Elizabeth Duval
Los Escorpiones es una novela de novelas: una obra narrativa titánica y misteriosa. Los protagonistas, Sara y Thomas, se ven envueltos en el entramado de una teorÃa de la conspiración dirigida por los poderes polÃticos y económicos, que pretenden controlar a los individuos a través de la hipnosis y los mensajes subliminales en libros, videojuegos y música para inducirlos al suicidio. Ambos llevan a cuestas desequilibrios emocionales y, mientras se teje entre ellos una relación inclasificable y poderosa, deciden investigar sobre esta secta cuyo nombre es el de una de las pocas especies animales que prefiere matarse antes que seguir soportando el dolor. Desde la Italia de los años veinte, pasando por el sur profundo de Estados Unidos en los ochenta, hasta llegar a la época actual en Madrid, Bilbao, un pueblo perdido de la España rural y Nueva York, esta es una historiasobre la angustia existencial, la soledad y la necesidad de creer en algo, sea lo que sea, para encontrar el sentido a la vida. Sara Barquinero brinda una experiencia de lectura que obsesiona, inquieta y arrastra al lector hasta el final. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE MONUMENTAL NOVEL OF A GENERATION.
Book of the Year in Fiction by Madrid bookstores Young Sara Barquinero, praised by Carlos Zanón, Nuria Labari, Andrés Barba, Elvira Navarro, Elizabeth Duval, and Luna Miguel, established herself with an astounding work.
Scorpions is a novel of novels, a titanic and mysterious narrative work. The protagonists, Sara and Thomas, are involved in the fabric of a conspiracy theory led by political and economical powers that intend to control individuals through hypnosis and subliminal messages in books, videogames, and music, inducing them to commit suicide. Both Sara and Thomas have emotional imbalances, and while an unclassifiable and powerful relationship is developing between them, they decide to investigate this sect, named after one of the very few animal species that prefer to kill themselves rather than continue to suffer. From Italy in the 1920s, across the United States deep south in the eighties, to present-day Madrid, Bilbao, a remote village in rural Spain, and New York, this is a story about existential angst, loneliness, and the need to believe in something, anything, to find meaning in life. Sara Barquinero gives us a reading experience that turns into obsession, that unsettles and pulls at her readers until the very end.
