About this Event
Acompáñanos a descubrir Criaturita, la aclamada novela de María Bastarós, en una sesión de lectura que combina misterio, emoción y diálogo literario.
En torno al misterioso lago Milagro, seguimos a Kaila, una joven de 19 años marcada por la desaparición de su padre, un biólogo obsesionado con una criatura abisal. Cuando varias mujeres empiezan a desaparecer en la zona, la frontera entre lo real y lo fantástico se difumina, dando lugar a una poderosa reflexión sobre la identidad, la ausencia y el poder femenino.
Una historia de iniciación que nos invita a mirar bajo la superficie del agua, de la memoria y de nosotros mismos.

Join us for an evening of reflection, mystery and conversation as we dive into Criaturita, the acclaimed novel by Spanish author María Bastarós.
Set around the eerie Lake Milagro, the story follows Kaila, a 19-year-old haunted by the disappearance of her father, a biologist obsessed with a creature that may be lurking beneath the water. As women begin to vanish from nearby towns, myth and reality intertwine in a haunting exploration of identity, absence and womanhood.
Criaturita is a coming-of-age tale infused with psychological tension and subtle fantasy that invites us to question what lies beneath the surface in the lake, in our families and within ourselves.
To get the most out of this activity, we recommend reading the book in Spanish. Please note that the book club takes place in this language.
