Seeing Red by Lina Meruane

In Lina Meruane's Seeing Red, fiction and autobiography intertwine.  An intense, visceral novel about the relation between the body, illness, and human relationship by one of Chile’s brightest young authors.  “Lina Meruane’s prose has great literary force: it emerges from the hammer blows of conscience, but also from the ungraspable and from pain.”- Roberto Bolaño
