«El niño pez» is the novel by writer and filmmaker Lucía Puenzo, published by Caballo de Troya in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Lala, a young woman from a wealthy family, and Guayi, her Paraguayan maid, live a forbidden passion that drags them toward crimes, family secrets, and a longing for freedom: to find a mythical place to be reborn. The story is told by a dog and reflects the tensions between Argentina and Paraguay and a love that drives one mad.
It is Lucía Puenzo's first novel, which she later adapted into a film as director. The Spanish edition was published in 2009.
Reading for adults drawn to stories of forbidden love, social inequality, and raw realism.
