Summary

Three characters are united by fire—a firefighter, a corpse incinerator, and a coal miner. Their setting and time could be any, but everything is perpetually on the edge of collapse. Coal and corpses provide society’s energy, jobs are violent and alienating, and life is a series of reactions where the future is irrelevant. 

?Carbón animal es la historia de tres hombres vinculados por el fuego: el bombero Ernesto Wesley, su hermano Ronivon, incinerador de cadáveres, y Edgar Wilson, minero del carbón. Los tres malviven en un lugar que podría estar tanto en Brasil como en cualquier otra parte, siempre que sea tierra arrasada; durante una época que podría ser cualquiera, siempre que todo esté acabado o a punto de acabarse. En ese tiempo y lugar, la energía se obtiene del carbón mineral y los cadáveres, los oficios son violentos o alienantes y la vida es una serie de reacciones donde el futuro no tiene ningún papel. En ese paisaje desolador, Ana Paula Maia es capaz de construir una novela profundamente lírica y humana, un drama corregido por un humor incendiario y cargado de imágenes casi cinematográficas.
