Fury in the memory

Arequipa 2025, Wednesday 5 November 2025

A mountainside, in the novel by Fernanda Trías (Uruguay), and an Andean village, in the novel by Patricia del Río (Peru), are the settings for El monte de las furias and Jauría respectively. Two places set for a discussion of the wild, and memory. The first is narrated by a woman in whose garden dead bodies begin to appear. The second is told from the point of view of the ten dogs who have become the guardians of the memory of the village’s last inhabitant. In conversation with Gustavo Rodríguez.
