Hunger as a Symptom of Social Disease in Mugre Rosa by Fernanda Trías
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Mugre Rosa by Fernanda Trías tells the story of a woman who must face the destruction of everything known before the outbreak of a contemporary epidemic. Thus, it is a dystopian novel that predicts the end of the modern city due to overconsumption. The waves of a great toxic mist expose a fragile society in which the community does not exist. Hunger appears at the middle of the health crisis as a manifestation of emptiness. It is the reverse of the neoliberal promise.
