Críticas
"LOTERIA... is constructed as a beautiful, gripping, and lyrical set of riddles (asked and solved) about life--and--death matters in one family. Like the novels of Cortazar, its form is intricate and beautiful. "--Charles Baxter, author of Gryphon: New and Selected Stories and The Feast of Love
"In a bold, deeply-felt debut Mario Alberto Zambrano brings us tragedy made powerful ... These are people who hold on to each other so hard it hurts. And this moving novel will hug you too, every bit as tight."--Josh Weil, author of The New Valley
"Sometimes what Zambrano leaves off the page is just as important as what's been written. This narrative sleight of hand shows Zambrano's gift for evoking great pain in stark, lyrical sketches."--Los Angeles Times
"Zambrano effectively uses his string of short-story-like entries to make Luz a many-faceted diamond, hardened by life but still filled with light and beauty."--Minneapolis Star Tribune
"It's a polished tome of prose unreeling the tale of plucky little Luz Maria Castillo in the game of chance called life... Loteria should delight and disturb any reader sensitive to the ways of children and how they think and, more importantly, how deeply they feel."--Dallas Morning News
"Loteria...captures, from a wide-eyed yet uncloying child's perspective, the way in which life can feel a lot like a game of chance."--Vogue, "Summer Reads"
"Coming of Age through bingo--the weirder, magical Mexican version."--New York
"[Zambrano's] debut novel...is a polished tome of prose unreeling the tale of plucky little Luz Maria Castillo in the game of chance called life.... We peer like voyeurs, artfully led by Zambrano's pacing, dialogue and comically drawn characters."--Houston Chronicle
"LOTERIA is a taut, fraught, look at tragedy, its aftermath, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. With suspense, dread, and always the possibility for redemption, we watch as Zambrano flips the cards of chance and fate."--Justin Torres, author of We The Animals
"Mario Alberto Zambrano performs a lyrical and formal sleight of hand conjuring a spiritually profound and deeply moving story. Loteria is about everything that matters. . . . This gorgeous, one-of-a-kind debut, marks the emergence of a singular and powerful new literary voice."--Amber Dermont, New York Times bestselling author of The Starboard Sea and Damage Control: Stories
Reseña del editor
In Lotería, the spellbinding literary debut by Mario Alberto Zambrano, a young girl tells the story of her family’s tragic demise using a deck of cards of the eponymous Latin American game of chance.
With her older sister Estrella in the ICU and her father in jail, eleven-year-old Luz Castillo has been taken into the custody of the state. Alone in her room, she retreats behind a wall of silence, writing in her journal and shuffling through a deck of lotería cards. Each of the cards’ colorful images—mermaids, bottles, spiders, death, and stars—sparks a random memory.
Pieced together, these snapshots bring into focus the joy and pain of the young girl’s life, and the events that led to her present situation. But just as the story becomes clear, a breathtaking twist changes everything.
Beautiful full-color images of lotería cards are featured throughout this intricate and haunting novel.
