Acerca de este título
In her first novel since The Quick and the Dead (a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize), the legendary writer takes us into an uncertain landscape after an environmental apocalypse, a world in which only the man-made has value, but some still wish to salvage the authentic.
Winner of the 2021 Kirkus Prize for Fiction.
Longlisted for the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award.
Khristen is a teenager who, her mother believes, was marked for greatness as a baby when she died for a moment, then came back to life. After Khristen's boarding school for gifted teens closes its doors and her mother disappears, she ranges across the dead landscape and finds a 'resort' on the shores of a mysterious putrid lake the elderly residents there call 'Big Girl'.
In a rotting honeycomb of rooms, these old ones plot actions to punish corporations and people they consider culpable in the destruction of the final scraps of nature's beauty.
Rivetingly strange and delivered with Williams' searing deadpan wit, Harrow is a tale of paradise lost and the reasons to try and recover something of it.

“One of America’s greatest living writers…Williams’ work is beautiful, bewildering.” (Financial Times)
“One of the great writers of her generation.” (New York Times)
“Cracked, morbidly hilarious...a splintered vision of environmental collapse that seems somehow both gleefully nihilistic and yearningly spiritual.” (Wall Street Journal, Top Ten Books of 2021)
