Synopsis "CENIZA EN LA BOCA (in Spanish)"

Diego salta desde un quinto piso y desde entonces esa imagen no deja de taladrarle la cabeza a su hermana: seis segundos y un cuerpo estrellándose contra el suelo. Es ella quien echa la vista atrás y cuenta la historia de los dos hermanos. Su llegada al mundo en un hogar en el que la vida nunca fue justa. Los años que pasaron en México con sus abuelos, mientras su madre se buscaba la vida en España, y era ella, aún niña, quien se hacía cargo de Diego. La etapa en Madrid, una ciudad que no entendían y que tampoco los entendía a ellos. La primera separación, cuando ella se marchó a Barcelona a abrirse camino y su hermano se quedó en el lugar que más odiaba. Y el regreso de ella, cargando las cenizas de Diego, a un México muy distinto al que recordaba.

Esta novela narra el viaje emocional de una joven que intuye las razones del suicidio de su hermano adolescente y protagoniza su propio síndrome de Ulises, en el que ni la ida ni la vuelta son realmente destino. Una historia de separaciones y abandonos, de anhelo y de rabia, de pérdida e iniciación a la vida, en la que Brenda Navarro aborda con enorme valentía cuestiones esquivas como la desigualdad, la xenofobia o el desarraigo, y que la confirma como una de las narradoras más potentes y audaces de nuestra literatura. Intenso, visceral y demoledor, Ceniza en la boca es un libro que quema y plantea la dolorosa pregunta de qué vida merece la pena ser vivida.

Brenda Navarro (Mexico City, February 26, 1982) is a Mexican writer, sociologist, and economist residing in Madrid. She is known for her novels Empty Houses (2018) and Ash in the Mouth (2022), works that explore themes such as migration, inequality, violence, and the search for identity.

Navarro studied Sociology and Economics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and completed a master's degree in Gender Studies, Women, and Citizenship at the University of Barcelona. She has worked in various non-governmental organizations related to human rights, such as Article 19 Mexico Chapter and the UNESCO Chair on Human Rights at UNAM. Additionally, she founded the #LiterarySwarm project, focused on publishing works written by Latin American women.

In Ash in the Mouth, Navarro tells the story of a young migrant who faces the suicide of her teenage brother in Madrid. The novel addresses the structural violence that migrants endure, such as racism, xenophobia, and discrimination, and reflects on identity, mourning, and resilience. The author has expressed that writing this book profoundly transformed her, recognizing that her works can change both readers and herself.

Ash in the Mouth received the Book of the Year Award from the Madrid Bookstores and the Cálamo Book of the Year Award. It was also a finalist for the Mario Vargas Llosa Biennial Novel Prize. The novel has been recognized for its intense, visceral, and devastating prose, and for its ability to address universal themes from an intimate and personal perspective.

Brenda Navarro continues to be a prominent voice in contemporary literature, committed to making visible the experiences of women and migrants, and to denouncing the social injustices that affect the most vulnerable communities.

Buen libro, buena recomendación

El libro es una experiencia brutal. Nos habla de la relevancia del arraigo en la construcción de la identidad. Toca muchos temas con los que podemos empatizar casi que la totalidad de latinos. Es facinante la ruptura de la temporalidad en la narración. Y sobre todo, es atrapante por completo la historia a medida que va destapando sus capas
