About this item

LA NUEVA NOVELA DE LA AUTORA FINALISTA AL NATIONAL BOOK AWARD por Mandíbula Seleccionada por la revista Granta como una de los 25 mejores narradores jóvenes en español «Mónica Ojeda es un fulgurante sol negro en la carta astral del terror contemporáneo». Fernanda Melchor «En esta novela Mónica Ojeda invita a un festival andino retrofuturista en la montaña. Psicodelia, volcanes, desintegración. Y luego el lenguaje que arde y nada es lo que parece. Seguirla en este viaje es, sin duda, una experiencia intensa». Mariana Enriquez «Con miedo y fascinación, así leo a Mónica Ojeda. Como si leyera un conjuro, como si mordiera carne temiendo encontrar dentro algo filoso. Tan poética, tan perturbadora y brutal». -Samanta Schweblin Año 5540 del calendario andino. Noa decide escaparse de su Guayaquil natal con su mejor amiga, Nicole, para asistir al Ruido Solar, un macrofestival popular que anualmente congrega, durante ocho días y siete noches, a miles de jóvenes —entre músicos, bailarines, poetas y chamanes— a los pies de uno de los numerosos volcanes de los Andes. Atrás quedan las familias y la violencia de las ciudades, y se despliega un paisaje alucinado que tiembla al ritmo de la música y las erupciones volcánicas bajo un cielo surcado por meteoritos. Para Noa esta será la primera parada antes de ir al reencuentro del padre que la abandonó cuando era una niña y que desde hace años habita los bosques altos, un territorio donde también se esconden los desaparecidos, aquellos que una vez subieron al Ruido y nunca regresaron a sus hogares. Sostenida poruna lírica extraordinaria, una estética deslumbrante y un brutal sentido del ritmo, Chamanes eléctricos en la fiesta del sol es un gran viaje místico al corazón primitivo de la música y de la danza; un viaje lisérgico y emocional que es a la vez la búsqueda de un padre y de un sentido de pertenencia en un mundo que solo conoce la pérdida y el desamparo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF JAWBONE, A FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD One of Granta magazine’s 25 best young Spanish-language novelists. It’s year 5540 on the Andean calendar. Noa decides to escape her hometown of Guayaquil with her best friend, Nicole, to attend Solar Noise, an annual eight-day festival that attracts thousands of young people – musicians, dancers, poets and shamans – to the base of one of the Andes’ many volcanos. Leaving behind their families and the violence of urban life, the festivalgoers enter a hallucinatory landscape where the ground shakes to the beat of the music and volcanic rumblings, under a sky lit up by meteorites. For Noa, it’s the first stop on the way to reuniting with her father, who abandoned her when she was a girl and has lived for years in the high mountain forests, rumored to be the refuge of former Solar Noise attendees who never made it back home. Possessed of extraordinary lyricism, dazzling beauty and a relentless sense of pace, Electric Shamans at the Festival of the Sun is both a mystical foray into the primitive heart of music and dance and the story of a woman who embarks on a psychedelic and emotional journey to find her father and a sense of belonging in a world that knows only abandonment and loss.
