Описание книги

This Ecuadorian short story collection explores  domestic horrors and everyday violence, a «grotesque, unflinching» portrait of  twenty-first-century Latin America ( Publishers Weekly ). “Ampuero’s literary voice is tough and beautiful at once: her stories are exquisite and dangerous objects.” —Yuri Herrera, author of Signs Preceding the End of the World In lucid and compelling prose,María Fernanda Ampuero sheds light on the hidden aspects of home: the grotesque realities of family, coming of age, religion, and class struggle. A family’s maids witness a horrible cycle of abuse, a girl is auctioned off by a gang of criminals, and two sisters find themselves at the mercy of their spiteful brother. With violence masquerading as love, characters spend their lives trapped reenacting their past traumas. Heralding a brutal and singular new voice,  Cockfight  explores the power of the home to both create and destroy those within it.

That must be what he’s thinking about. About waving to the guard to open the gate while these beasts duck down in the back seat. He’s going to take them home to meet his beautiful wife, his eight-month-old baby, and his three-year-old son. He’s going to take them to his house.

And there’s nothing he can do about it.
