About the Book

Ganadora del 2016 Foreword INDIES Best Science Fiction/Fantasy Book AwardFinalista del 2017 Best Translated Book AwardUna novela imprescindible de uno de los autores más populares del Caribe.Un zombi caribeño, inteligente, galante, financieramente independiente y alto ejecutivo de una importante compañía farmacéutica, se obsesiona con encontrar la fórmula que revierta su condición y le permita convertirse en "una persona de verdad". En el camino, tres de sus colaboradoras más cercanas (Isadore, cerebral y calculadora; Mathilde, ingenua y sentimental, y la pendenciera Patricia), guían al reacio y desconcertado científico a través de las impredecibles intersecciones del amor, la pasión, la empatía y la humanidad.... Pero el juego laberíntico de los celos y la intriga amorosa que un ser vivo encontraría fácil y divertido negociar, representan un enredo insuperable de intenciones oscuras y peligrosas ambigüedades para nuestro "muerto en vida".Malas hierbas se compone del ábum de recortes de Isadore, donde ha recogido los objetivos científicos de su jefe y su agonía existencial; sus propias reflexiones como descendiente de haitianos en la República Dominicana y el origen de la consciencia; informes policiales; entradas de su diario de campo; el desgarrador periplo de su tía abuela Sandrine del Haití rural a los barrios de la República Dominicana en calidad de restavek; y una sobreabundancia de sabiduría oral. El resultado es un género único en su clase: una combinación precisa de noir caribeño y ciencia-ficción al latinoamericano... es decir, una obra de ficción especulativa llena de humor, afanes sociológicos, y profundas exploraciones del sincretismo religioso y su supervivencia en el mundo moderno.Lo que parece una loca miscelánea puede cambiar drásticamente si le echamos otro vistazo, ya que el significado y las conexiones cambian por medio de un proceso que es menos como hojear un libro de recuerdos, y más como el movimiento de un caleidoscopio, que golpea los sentidos de manera diferente a cada vuelta.--Locus MagazineLas amenazas de un apocalipsis zombi parecen estar a la vuelta de cada esquina, pero lo raro es una historia de zombies inteligente, bien pensada, divertida, sentimental, socialmente consciente y, sí, a veces repugnante, infundida de cultura caribeña, crítica, prejuicios y pasiones. Pedro Cabiya hace entrega de todo esto y más en Malas hierbas, la saga de un galante zombie en pos de su qualia perdida, esa indefinible, interna, percepción sensorial de uno mismo. [...] Los aficionados al cine de horror apreciarán la ironía y el impresionante conocimiento que el zombi posee de las representaciones que la cultura pop ha hecho de los muertos vivientes a través de los años.--Foreword ReviewsLas historia con zombies son irresistibles: las túrgidas descripciones de carne podrida y la ingesta de cerebros, el escapismo que brinda la licencia para matar algo casi humano. En Malas hierbas ... Pedro Cabiya toma estos elementos y agrega giros, agregando una intrigante dosis de rigor científico, sabiduría caribeña y humor.--The Washington PostUn zombi caribeño exigente y exitoso navega por los caminos inciertos del corazón humano en esta cerebral narración sobre muertos vivientes. Lo que Cabiya ha logrado [en Malas hierbas] es retorcer las percepciones del lector para ver el mundo a través de los ojos de un hombre que no ve el mundo como realmente es, provocando en su protagonista emociones que es incapaz de comprender.--Kirkus ReviewsUn zombi caribeño, alto ejecutivo de una importante compañía farmacéutica, se obsesiona con encontrar una cura química para su condición insalubre en esta compleja y surreal novela de una de las estrellas literarias de América Latina.--Publisher's Weekly
