Product Details
- On a hot and suffocating weekend in a forested river, three friends, two in middle age and one young, decide to go fishing. In the past, they lost their best friends as a result of a terrible accident in this region. On the other hand, they stay on the shores they love and catch a huge stingray. Afterwards, they camp, eat, drink and kill time by taking the forest behind them; However, neither the memory of their lost friends nor the feeling of guilt haunts them.It cannot be said that the wild nature or the people of the town within its borders welcomed them warmly. The unemployed people, who are suspicious of strangers and are overwhelmed by the angry sun, do not like these three men hanging out with the town girls and eventually decide to do something.Selva Almada's latest novel, Not a River, which is among the 2024 International Booker finalists, deals with topics such as poverty and impossibilities, masculinity, guilt, unquenchable desires and becoming commonplace violence. It depicts the tragedies taken for granted by the wasted lives in rural Argentina with tremendous sensitivity and sharp craftsmanship.I always read Selva Almada with passion, but not a River but something else. I stood up in my living room and read it out loud. So good. Samanta schweblinA masterful literary work. The story deepens with twigs and twists and turns and side scenes like a cheeky tropical ivy entwined between your past, sisters, wives, ex-lovers, lad adventures and jealousies.

Selva Almada Editorial Review
The reception of the book "Not a River" has been quite mixed among readers. While some have shared positive sentiments about the book’s engaging storyline, others have expressed significant frustrations with the narrative style and presentation. The book's premise of rapidly transitioning between past and future has intrigued many, with some readers enjoying the unique timeline structure. However, this same transition left others feeling confused and frequently needing to re-read certain sections to grasp the intended dialogue, particularly noted due to the absence of clear speech indicators. Notably, criticisms have arisen concerning the language and translation quality, with one reader stating that the representation by YK Publishing was disappointing and not to be recommended. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the book's authenticity, with at least one reader suggesting that it could potentially be a pirated copy due to issues detecting the ISBN number. In contrast, several readers found their understanding of the material enhanced through supplementary content, such as videos by the author, indicating that external resources may significantly enrich the reading experience. In summary, "Not a River" possesses a captivating concept and narrative potential, yet significant issues regarding clarity and quality have dampened some readers' enjoyment. **
