«Una novela sobre la cara más oscura de la amistad, los complicados caminos del deseo y las miserias domésticas. Claustrofóbica e intensa . Pilar Quintana

Después de terminar con su pareja y tirar a la basura las posibilidades de un buen estatus migratorio, Silvia recurre a los únicos amigos que le quedan. Así aterriza con el corazón roto en el sofá cama de Javier y Teresa, y a cambio del hospedaje pacta con la pareja hacer el aseo del pequeño apartamento en el que viven. Este acuerdo los confrontará con aquello que creen desear.

Entre las cajas de los regalos de bodas sin desempacar y los días anodinos de invierno, se va tejiendo en el trío una tensión que perturbará los límites del trabajo y el sexo, a tal punto que será imposible para el lector quitarles los ojos de encima. Con una mirada punzante, la narradora de este libro perfila la complejidad de tres jóvenes adultos que se encuentran en medio de la estrechez de un mundo tan despiadado como banal. Llena de ritmo y belleza, Contradeseo confirma a Gloria Susana Esquivel como una de las narradoras colombianas más interesantes del panorama actual.

Una novela para leer con el mismo afán impúdico con que sus personajes transitan los caminos del deseo.

ENGLISH DECSRIPTION

"A novel about the dark side of friendship and the convoluted pathways of desire. Claustrophobic and intense." - Pilar Quintana

Silvia breaks up with her fiancé, ending all hope of legalizing her immigration status. Heartbroken and with nowhere to go, she turns to the only friends she has left, crashing on Javier and Teresa's pullout couch in exchange for cleaning their tiny apartment.

During those bleak winter days in an apartment littered with unopened wedding gifts, tensions emerge that will test the bounds of work and sex. Readers will find it impossible to look away as the author probes the dynamics that develop among this trio of young adults trapped in a world as merciless as it is banal. Well-paced and filled with beauty, Counter-desire confirms Gloria Susana Esquivel as one of Colombia's most interesting contemporary authors.

This is a novel to read with the same unbridled curiosity felt by its protagonists as they navigate the twists and turns of desire.
