Antonio, who escaped the gallows thanks to the Virgin of the naranjel, flees with two starving girls and begins, deep in the jungle, a long letter to his aunt, the prioress. Along the way, he recalls his past lives as a muleteer, shopkeeper, soldier, cabin boy, and page, while now trying to care for Michi and Mitãkuña, who interrupt him with difficult and luminous questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1753\" data-start=\"1359\"\u003eThe novel narrates the violence of colonization and the devastation of territories and bodies, but it also proposes another way of thinking about relationships, affection, and genders. Cabezón Cámara moves against the norm and creates a new loving grammar where Miyazaki’s cinema, Latin prayers, songs in Basque, and words in Guaraní coexist, unsettling the meter of the Golden Age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2055\" data-start=\"1755\"\u003eWith lyrical, irreverent, and deeply political prose, \u003cem data-end=\"1839\" data-start=\"1815\"\u003eLas niñas del naranjel\u003c\/em\u003e confirms Gabriela Cabezón Cámara as one of the most unique voices in contemporary Spanish literature, at the crossroads of historical novel, queer writing, and an imagined Indies chronicle from the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAwards and Recognitions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2025 National Book Award for Best Translated Book\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2024 Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2024 Fundación Medifé Filba Prize\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2023 Ciutat de Barcelona Prize\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Cabezón Cámara’s captivating poetics show us how experimenting with history can be both magical and harsh.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56329187066200,"sku":"LIB-LA-RA-352","price":18.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/las-ninas-del-naranjel-gabriela-cabezon-camara-8156372.jpg?v=1764842290"}],"url":"https:\/\/eu.plasticbooks.com\/en\/collections\/libros-gabriela-cabezon-camara.oembed","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
