La anguila

This is a book about the body. On a body that loves and is loved. A body that is also abused, violated through sex and childbirth, abortion and blood, dirt. Non-artistic materials in the hands of a painter who writes, a writer who watches. The eel deals with memory and inheritance, talks about births and losses, about the desire that crosses generations, the learned and truncated gestures. On rebellions and escapes, on friendship and on Chile. It is the portrait of a woman who takes the risks of looking back without glaze and heads towards a new life.
