Happy UK pub day to PINK SLIME by Fernanda Trías (tr. Heather Cleary)! 🎉
Winner of the Uruguayan National Literature Prize for Fiction, the Bartolomé-Hidalgo Fiction Prize, the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Literature Prize, and a PEN Translates Award, the novel offers profound reflections on motherhood, marriage, and caregiving, set against the backdrop of a crumbling city.
According to The Scotsman, “This is not a dystopia, but a full-on, Technicolor apocalypse. (...) Pink Slime kept me guessing; but the guesswork is far less important than the emotional heft of it. What caused this chaos, this heartbreak? The pink slime was never the algae or the wind or the rendered meat. The pink slime is us.” Morning Star calls the novel "A chilling tour-de-force by one of the most exciting and subversive voices writing today in Latin America."
Originally published in Spanish with Literatura Random House and Editorial Mantis, the novel is out now in the UK and AU/NZ with Scribe Publications UK / Scribe Publications and will be published with Scribner Books next year. Rights have also sold to edizioni sur (Italian), Editora Moinhos (Portuguese, Brazil), Editorial Aurora Boreal (Danish), Prosak Förlag (Swedish), Actes Sud (French), Dar Athar (Arabic), Ullstein Verlag (German), Kultur Yayinlari (Turkish), Sulakauri Publishing (Georgian), Wydawnictwo Pauza (Polish), Panorama (Film/TV), and Audible (Spanish Audio) so far.
