Description
Mona is a Peruvian writer who, with her biting humour and devil-may-care attitude, navigates the complexities of academia and personal relationships. Her life is marked by substance abuse and a sense of disconnection, until she is nominated for a prestigious literary award and sees an opportunity to escape. However, her journey to a small village in Sweden is complicated by the arrival of her competitors from around the world, each with their own stories and motivations. As Mona struggles to come to terms with her past, she begins to uncover hidden secrets on her body that she cannot explain. The writers' gathering is a tense and humorous exploration of the human condition, where flattery and envy are exchanged, and private resentments simmer just below the surface. Through Mona's story, Pola Oloixarac offers a searing critique of the literary world and the ways in which we present ourselves to the world. With its razor-sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Mona is a thought-provoking and deeply unsettling read that will leave you questioning the nature of identity and the power of storytelling.
