«Mientras duerme el tiburón» is the contemporary novel by Milena Agus, published by Debolsillo in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The Sevilla Mendoza family is Sardinian and full of quirks: a father fascinated by South America, a mother chasing beauty, a brother devoted to music, an aunt looking for a boyfriend, and a daughter in love with a married man. The dialogue revolves around sex, death and God, and the sleeping shark is the metaphor for a possible escape.
Translation by Celia Filipetto of the Italian original «Mentre dorme il pescecane». Part of the Best Seller collection (826/2).
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in Italian narrative and portraits of eccentric families.
Milena Agus is an Italian author from Sardinia. She is one of the leading novelists in the so-called Sardinian Literary Spring which began in the 1980s and which includes other international names such as Michela Murgia.
