Bellatin, Mario , 1960-
Beauty salon / Mario Bellatín ; translated from the Spanish by Kurt Hollander - San Francisco : City Lights Books , 2009. - 63 p. ; 18 cm.
Translated from the Spanish.
"Like much of Mr. Bellatin's work, Beauty Salon is pithy, allegorical and profoundly disturbing, with a plot that evokes The Plague by Camus or Blindness by Joseacute; Saramago."-- New York Times. A strange plague appears in a large city. Rejected by family and friends, some of the sick have nowhere to finish out their days until a hair stylist decides to offer refuge. He ends up converting his beauty shop, which hers is filled with tanks of exotic fish, into a sort of medieval hospice. As his guests continue to arrive and to die, his isolation becomes more and more complete in this dream-hazy parable by one of Mexico's cutting-edge literary stars. Mario Bellatin , the author of numerous short novels, born in Mexico City in 1960. In 2000, Beauty Salon was nominated for the Meacute's Prize for best novel translated into French. This is its first translation into English.
