Title: Hormigas en la lengua

Date: 2015

Language: Spanish

Description: "Presented as a literary collage composed of letters, poems, fragmented narratives, and family anecdotes, Hormigas en la lengua delves into the games, wounds, reflections, pleasures, and fears of childhood. What sets this portrait apart is Yau’s narrative choice: telling the story through gastronomy. Through food—both as a theme and a lens—the transformations of each character are vividly sketched with an agile, graceful, and unembellished prose. This debut novel introduces one of the most promising voices in contemporary Venezuelan fiction." (Publisher, translated from Spanish by Archivo Venezuela)
