Krátky popis
LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD 2024‘Sparkling’ NEW YORK
TIMES‘Magnetic’ IRA GLASS‘Fierce’ TIME'In García Márquez, people in
love experienced bouts of vomiting, psychosomatic fevers and real
catatonia. I wanted to make boys sick, too. This is how I wanted to
be loved.'When Catalina, a witty, vulnerable and beautiful
Ecuadorian student, arrives at Harvard, she feels like one of the
chosen.She is a miracle child who has escaped death in Latin
America to be raised by undocumented grandparents and now studies
at the most prestigious university in the world. She knows she has
to play the part, but she also wants to have a good time in the
process. And so begins her era of opulent parties, secret
societies, desirable internships, flings with rich men and plenty
of vodka sodas.But in her final year, undocumented immigrants
become the target of political turmoil and Catalina’s life back in
New York begins to unravel. As the clock ticks on the precarious
future of her family, what will she sacrifice to save the people
she loves the most?Catalina is a daring, glamorous and sharply
observed campus novel about coming into your own and the endless
possibilities of freedom, love and power. 'She is a worthy student
of Gabriel García Márquez' The Atlantic'[A] fresh and unflinching
take on the campus novel' PEOPLE'Destined to be a contemporary
American classic' FRANCISCO GOLDMAN, author of the Pulitzer Prize
