Description

Thirst A Novel by Marina Yuszczuk is a reimagining of the vampire novel with a distinctly Latin American feminist Gothic twist. Set against the backdrop of Buenos Aires, this bloody and atmospheric tale follows a woman's encounter with an immortal creature that sets her on a path from which there's no turning back. With echoes of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Thirst explores the boundaries of female agency, all-consuming desire, and the fragile vitality of even the most immortal of creatures. The novel plays with the conventions of the Gothic genre while delving into the complexities of motherhood, identity, and the human condition. Channeling the works of Carmen Maria Machado and Anne Rice, Yuszczuk crafts a unique narrative that is both haunting and thought-provoking.
