Winner of the Uruguayan National Literature Prize for Fiction, the Bartolomé-Hidalgo Fiction Prize, & the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Literature Prize.A port city is in the grips of an ecological crisis. The river has filled with toxic algae, & a deadly ‘red wind’ blows through its streets; much of the coast has been evacuated as the wealthy migrate inland to safety, leaving the rest to shelter in abandoned houses as blackouts & food shortages abound.
The unnamed narrator is one of those who has stayed. She spends her days trying to disentangle herself from the two relationships that had once meant everything to her, & looking after the young boy who’s been placed in her care. As the world in which they move becomes smaller, she reflects on the collapse of the other emotional ties in her life & the emergence of a radical yet tender solitude.
With striking prose & vivid characters, the multi-award-winning Pink Slime offers profound reflections on motherhood, marriage, & caregiving, set against the backdrop of a crumbling city.
