about the novel

“Kill yourself, love” is the first novel by the writer and was nominated for the Man Booker Prize in 2018. The novel is a country thriller. What is it about? Its synopsis relates that everything happens in the house with access to the forest where a deer and a family live, she + him + the baby, three, although more like two against one, she, who spies on them with a knife in her hand or with a disused shotgun that has not yet said its last word.

The contact with the wild nature that surrounds the protagonist and the neighbors she stalks, but also the overflow of her desire, her dark longing and even the impulse to implore her husband: kill yourself, they become the nuclear elements of this compelling story. “The panting of a beast cornered by the pack runs through this dark and radiant tale from start to finish. These incandescent pages are an ancient call: the bestial to the rescue of the human. This is a living book, young, torn, of a wild beauty, which is read with the same gasping breath with which it was written,” said Alicia Dujovne Ortiz, also an Argentine journalist.
