So, we are giving away copies of the English translation to the first five people who sign up for the session on Eventbrite!----------------------A violent death unleashes the story of a cursed lineage. Jon was shot in the back, in an isolated house where the only other occupants were his family. Who pulled the trigger?Thirteen characters. Thirteen different points of view.Dead Lands is a kaleidoscopic narrative that unfurls an atavistic universe where characters are burdened by brutal origins, two deaths, and a dark secret.A literary descendant of William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom!, the novel recalls the obsessive rhythm of Thomas Bernhard, and Mercè Rodoreda’s treatment of anguish in Death in Spring.<a href="https://www.3timesrebel.com/pages/nuria-bendicho" title="https://www.3timesrebel.com/pages/nuria-bendicho" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Núria Bendicho</a>’s work asks difficult questions about human nature and takes us into a sordid world, one from which it is difficult to emerge without feeling both anger and compassion.--------------------In short, it'll change your summer reading plans and reveal a world you could not imagine.
