Pilar Quintana is a celebrated Colombian author recognized for her profound storytelling and compelling narratives. Named one of Latin America’s most promising young authors by the Hay Festival in 2007, she has since garnered international acclaim. Her novel The Bitch received the PEN Translates award, was a finalist for the National Book Award in the U.S., and won the Colombian Biblioteca de Narrativa Prize. The book was also selected as one of the most valuable works to preserve in a Bogotá time capsule. Quintana’s latest novel, Abyss, earned the prestigious Alfaguara de Novela Prize, solidifying her position as a leading voice in Spanish-language literature.
The Bitch by Pilar Quintana is a powerful and beautiful novel that examines the painful chaos of life. It is written in a prose as terse as the villagers, with storms―both meteorological and emotional―lurking around each corner.
