Y no podía creer que fuera de noche todavía, que esa incandescencia fuera la noche. Daba lo mismo cerrar los ojos o mantenerlos abiertos.

Después de la temprana muerte de sus padres en un trágico accidente automovilístico, Bianca, poco más que una adolescente, se descubre abocada al abismo de una existencia que no tiene ningún futuro. Dedica sus horas a lavar, tintar y cortar pelo mientras su hermano se mezcla con gente de dudosa reputación en el gimnasio donde trabaja. La aparición de dos hombres misteriosos los llevará a planear un delito que podría rescatarlos de sus penurias económicas. La pequeña fortuna de un viejo y ciego actor podría convertirse en una puerta de huida que los conduzca a algún lugar; el que sea, pero a alguno. Bianca tiene mucho que ganar y nada que perder, pues qué ha de esperar quien ha abandonado toda esperanza?

Una novelita lumpen es un relato sobre el descenso a los infiernos de una mujer que se encuentra transitando por el delgado filo que separa la lucidez y la cordura, la infelicidad y la capacidad humana para reinventarse.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

And she couldn't believe it was still night, that that incandescence was the night. It made no difference whether she closed her eyes or kept them open.

After the early death of her parents in a tragic car accident, Bianca, little more than a teenager, finds herself plunged into the abyss of an existence with no future. She spends her days washing, dyeing, and cutting hair while her brother mixes with people of dubious reputation at the gym where he works. The appearance of two mysterious petty criminals that her brother brings home, will lead them to plan a crime that could rescue them from their financial hardships. The small fortune of an old, blind actor could become an escape route that leads them somewhere--anywhere, but somewhere. Bianca has much to gain and nothing to lose, for what is there to expect from someone who has abandoned all hope?

A Little Lumpen Novelita is a story about the descent into hell of a woman who finds herself walking the fine line between lucidity and sanity, unhappiness and the human capacity to reinvent oneself.

Electric and tense with foreboding, A Little Lumpen Novelita --the last novel Roberto Bolaño published in his lifetime--delivers a surprising, fractured tale of taking control of one's fate.
