In a deserted village, an unnamed young man waits for an opportunity to escape. Society has been militarised, the dead lie unburied and thugs patrol the land. As he waits, he marks the days that pass and writes to his lover Boris, with whom he shares an animal desire. In a series of impassioned dispatches, Napalm in the Heart unearths what it means to survive when language and nature fail, to refuse to give up when everything is lost.
Led by Jorge Gárriz, in Spanish, the session will center around Pol Guasch’s first novel, “Napalm en el corazón”. The book unearths what it means to survive when language and nature fail and to refuse to give up when everything is lost. Discover the beautiful, complex story written by Pol Guasch.
