Selva Almada
Gorące, duszne popołudnie. Enero i El Negro łowią ryby. Opiekują się Tilo - nastoletnim synem ich przyjaciela, który utonął kiedyś w tej samej rzece. Wędkują, rozmawiają i piją wino, próbując odegnać duchy przeszłości. Otacza ich przyroda rządząca się swoimi prawami, niepokojąca. Lokalni mieszkańcy obserwują ich z podejrzliwością. Po godzinach zmagań z płaszczką Enero nie wytrzymuje. Wyciąga rewolwer, celuje w wodę i pociąga za spust. Po przybyciu do obozowiska mężczyźni przewlekają żyłkę przez oczodoły martwej płaszczki i zawieszają jej ogromne ciało na drzewie. Pozwalają mu zgnić, co przyciąga uwagę mieszkańców wyspy i rozpala tlący się gniew wobec intruzów. Przemoc wydaje się nieunikniona... Literacka wirtuozeria... Retrospekcje i pomniejsze sceny nadają tej historii głębi; wiją się jak pnącza, oplatając postaci i zdarzenia z przeszłości: siostry, żony, starych kochanków, szczeniackie szczęście i skrywaną zazdrość. Annie Proulx Potężna powieść. Ta historia z innego świata pozostaje w umyśle czytelnika, niczym sen. Publishers Weekly Powieść Selvy Almady jest wspaniałym wyrazem jej zniewalającego stylu i przenikliwości towarzyszącej tworzeniu wyjątkowego obrazu wiejskiej Argentyny. Jury Nagrody Bookera
