El olor del fin del mundo es una novela apasionada y estremecedora sobre un amor prohibido que desafía los límites del deseo, la culpa y la supervivencia.
En medio del confinamiento global por el covid-19, Carmen revive su historia con Antonio -una relación clandestina que la marcó para siempre- mientras enfrenta las secuelas físicas y emocionales del virus. Entre la pérdida del olfato, la enfermedad y la memoria, la protagonista reconstruye la intensidad de una pasión que fue su mayor dicha y su condena. Vanessa De La Torre entrega una historia visceral, poética y profundamente humana sobre lo que significa amar al borde del abismo. En este, su segundo libro, combina la sensibilidad de la crónica con la fuerza emocional de la novela contemporánea. Vanessa De La Torre Sanclemente es una de las periodistas más reconocidas de Colombia. Comunicadora social y periodista de la Universidad Javeriana, con una maestría en Estudios Latinoamericanos de la Universidad de Georgetown, Estados Unidos, y una destacada trayectoria en medios como Noticias Caracol, Blu Radio, La W, El Espectador, RCTV de Venezuela, Caracol Radio del Grupo Prisa, entre otros. Es también autora del libro Historias de amor en campos de guerra (Grijalbo, 2019), éxito de ventas en Colombia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Scent of the End of the World is a passionate and unsettling novel about a forbidden love that pushes the boundaries of desire, guilt, and survival. In the midst of the global COVID-19 lockdown, Carmen revisits her story with Antonio--a clandestine relationship that marked her forever--while confronting the physical and emotional aftermath of the virus. Between the loss of her sense of smell, illness, and memory, the protagonist reconstructs the intensity of a passion that was both her greatest joy and her condemnation. Vanessa De La Torre delivers a visceral, poetic, and deeply human story about what it means to love on the edge of the abyss. In this, her second book, she blends the sensitivity of literary journalism with the emotional force of contemporary fiction. Vanessa De La Torre Sanclemente is one of Colombia's most renowned journalists. She holds a degree in Social Communication and Journalism from Universidad Javeriana and a master's degree in Latin American Studies from Georgetown University in the United States. She has had a distinguished career in media outlets such as Noticias Caracol, Blu Radio, La W, El Espectador, RCTV (Venezuela), and Caracol Radio (Grupo Prisa), among others. She is also the author of Love Stories from War Zones (Historias de amor en campos de guerra, Grijalbo, 2019), a bestselling title in Colombia.
