FINALISTA DEL PRIMER PREMIO IBEROAMERICANO DE NARRATIVA LAS AMÉRICAS « Perra brava llegó para ser una ventana de ese norte que es parte de nuestra cultura mexicana, pero también para ser una voz novedosa en la literatura y, sin lugar a dudas, para anclarse como una de las mejores obras del género noir . .. Francisco G. Haghenbeck
En el Monterrey de los narcos, el reggaeton y el hip hop, ella es una joven universitaria mas pero tambien una reina entre las de su clase, la novia de un jefe de sicarios del narcotrafico, al que sirve como su esclava. Fernanda le profesa a Julio un amor incondicional que no es solo sumiso sino tambien miserable y babeante, tan violento como el trato que el le propina y tan inquebrantable como el terror con que ella vive. Con un ritmo vertiginoso, Perra brava es una novela furiosa y cruenta que a velocidad sorprendente cuenta de manera rigurosa una historia tan increible como familiar porque, pese a que no hay mujer mas vigilada que esta reinita de los sicarios, Fernanda vive en el miedo: a la sangre, a su padre, al mundo exterior y a su propio futuro. Una muchacha normal no pide mas que, si no se ha muerto su padre, suceda pronto y de manera tragica, horrenda y asquerosa, para que sea noticia y asi enterarse a traves de los noticieros; que nunca su hermana aparezca destazada; que a nadie se le ocurra violar a su sobrina; que su hombre no termine con el craneo perforado cualquier dia de estos; que la policia no vuelva a arrojarle en el regazo la cabeza de un muerto... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FINALIST IN THE FIRST IBERO-AMERICAN NARRATIVE AWARD LAS AMERICAS Feisty Bitch arrived to be a window into the North that is part of our Mexican culture, but also to show us a new literary voice and, without a doubt, to pin itself as one of the best works in noir. Francisco G. Haghenbeck In Monterrey, territory of narcos, reggaeton, and hip hop, Fernanda is just another young college student, but also a queen among her peers, the girlfriend of a drug dealer's main sicario, whom she serves as a slave. Fernanda professes an unconditional love for Julio, not just submissive, but miserable and driveling, as violent as the way he treats her, and as unbreakable as the dread she lives with. Fast-paced, Feisty Bitch is a furious and cruel novel that rigorously tells, with the most outstanding speed, a story as incredible as it is familiar. Regardless of being the most watched woman, Fernanda, this little sicario queen, lives in fear: she fears blood, her father, the outside world, and her own future. All a normal girl wants is that, if her father hasn't died yet, it happens soon, tragically, gruesomely, disgustingly enough to make the news so she can learn about it then; that her sister doesn't turn up gutted somewhere; that nobody thinks of raping her niece; that her man doesn't end up with a hole in his skull one of these days; that the police doesn't throw another dead man's head at her lap...
