A noir, feminist eco-thriller, in which venally corrupt politicians and greedy land speculators finally get their just comeuppance! In the squalid settlement of Poso Wells, women have been regularly disappearing but the authorities have shown little interest. When the leading presidential candidate comes to town, he and his entourage are electrocuted in a macabre, darkly hilarious accident witnessed by a throng of astonished spectators. The sole survivor—next in line for the presidency—inexplicably disappears from sight. Gustavo Varas, a principled journalist, picks up the trail, which leads him into a violent, lawless underworld, and ultimately to a strange group of almost supernatural blind men. Bella Altamirano, a fearless local woman, is on her own crusade to pierce the settlement's code of silence, ignoring the death threats that result from her efforts. It turns out that the disappearance of the candidate and those of the women are intimately connected, and not just to a local crime wave, but to a multinational magnate's plan to plunder the country's ecologically sensitive cloud forest. A political satire and noir thriller, laced with humor and a sci-fi twist, Poso Wells plunges its readers into dark passages where things are as uncontrolled and overheated as the lava from a smoking volcano, which is where the story ends. Praise for Poso Wells: "By expertly weaving multiple narratives around the figure of Vinueza, the hapless (but wealthy!) presidential candidate who resembles so many corrupt (but wealthy!) presidential candidates in the modern history of Ecuador, Gabriela Alemán depicts with verve and humor the horrors and absurdities of a society intent on perpetuating itself."—Mauro Javier Cardenas, author of The Revolutionaries Try Again "Gabriela Alemán has a rhythm worth watching … she does something unexpected, things fly apart, she leaps into the void, and you think, 'there's no way she can pull this off'—but no, everything fits together, falls into place, flows, and the story goes on."—Pedro Mairal, author of The Missing Year of Juan Salvatierra "Poso Wells is ironic, audacious, and fierce. But what is it, exactly? A satire? A scifi novel? A political detective yarn? Or the purest reality of contemporary Latin America. It's unclassifiable—as all great books are."—Samanta Shweblin, author of Fever Dream "Through scalding wit and straight-faced parody this no-holds-barred absurdist adventure that seems more a movie than a book will have you laughing till you cry as the cruelty of its South American reality sinks in. Imagine a mix of Hunter S. Thompson and Gabriel García Márquez. A small masterpiece."—Michael Taussig, author of Beauty and the Beast "This compulsively readable book is Gabriela Alemán’s debut as a novelist in the English-language. Sparklingly original, full of dry wit, and deliciously suspenseful, Poso Wells could well earn Gabriela Alemán a cult following.”—Jon Lee Anderson, author of Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life, Guerrillas: Journeys in the Insurgent World, and The Fall of Baghdad, Kindle Edition, Label: City Lights Publishers, City Lights Publishers, Product group: eBooks, Published: 2018-07-15, Release date: 2018-07-15, Studio: City Lights Publishers.

It's unclassifiable-as all great books are."-Samanta Schweblin, author of Fever Dream "Poso Wells is brilliant, audacious, doubtlessly playful and at the same time so dark and bitter. A truly unforgettable book."-Alejandro Zambra, author of Multiple Choice"The story is a condemnation not only of the corrupt businessmen and the criminal gangs that rule Poso Wells but also of the violence against women that plagues Latin America's real slums."-The New Yorker "One part Thomas Pynchon, one part Gabriel García Marquez, and one part Raymond Chandler, Alemán's novel contains mystery, horror, humor, absurdity, and political commentary ... A concoction of political thriller and absurdist literary mystery that never fails to entertain."-Kirkus Reviews "A wild, successful satire of Ecuadorian politics and supernatural encounters. ... Alemán's singular voice keeps the ride fresh and satisfying."-Publishers Weekly In the squalid settlement of Poso Wells, women have been regularly disappearing, but the authorities have shown little interest.

Gabriela Aleman, Diego Estebo, . Thriller y Misterio ARISTAS MARTINEZ EDICIONES. En la mayor explanada de un arrabal de Guayaquil, las masas se amontonan ante el escenario en el que se celebra un festivo y chabacano mitin electoral, cuando una explosión acaba con la vida de casi todos los oradores. Los supervivientes, en mitad de la confusión general, son secuestrados por unos seres deformes y nauseabundos que habitan bajo el inmenso y maldito solar.Gonzalo Varas, un periodista tan obstinado como solidario, comenzará a investigar el suceso en el que se cruzan las tramas políticas y sociales, mientras los seres del inframundo preparan su advenimiento.Un texto donde desaparecen los límites entre lo fantástico y lo real: reportaje y ciencia ficción, novela policíaca y romántica, denuncia social, escritura poética y terror."Gabriela Alemán nos sumerge en las galerías de un mundo salvaje donde solo subsisten aquellos que tienen la suerte de no toparse con los viscosos tentáculos del poder. Por esas galerías pasan putas, periodistas, militares, poetas, magnates de las finanzas, indígenas desposeídos, mesías..." (Benito del Pliego)"Poso Wells es una historia fantástica sobre un grupo milenario de ciegos y sus planes para poner a su candidato medriocre en la Presidencia de la República. Aunque, en realidad, es la historia de un reportero y sus intentos por desenmascarar el misterioso plan, también es la historia de un suburbio guayaquileño que se lo traga todo. Poso Wells son varias historias que se relacionan de alguna forma con el escritor británico H. G. Wells, quien tiene una extraña conexión con Ecuador en El país de los ciegos y La guerra de los mundos, cuya adaptación radial incendió radio Quito. Por la segunda novela de Gabriela Alemán desfilan personajes esperpénticos, caricaturas que, en primera instancia, ambientan este mundo absolutamente ficcional y fantástico."
