| Summary: | Queen Cocaine takes place amid the violence that rules everyday life in Colombia. In the remote Pacific Coast jungle, a region of incessant rain that is ravaged by the drug trade and by civil war, the army, the guerillas, and the drug traffickers spin a perilous web in which the three main characters who inhabit this novel are caught: Rat, a young Catalan woman who has recently arrived in Colombia; Aida, a local visionary who is adept at weaving spells, and Wilson, a writer and journalist persecuted because of his ideas and tormented by his own frustrations Following the footsteps of a writer persecuted because of his ideas and tortured by his own frustrations, a young Catalan woman embarks on an adventure in the jungles of Colombia where her familiar world shatters and from which nothing emerges unharmed Confronted by solitude in a region where it rains incessantly, she discovers, first in her lover, then in the people around her, the alarming signs of a devastating war. In a narrative that swings between intimacy and horror, she bears witness to a hell in which she abandons everything except the language she has had to reinvent, as her only refuge, to speak about the thousand new faces death has shown her |
