General Note
"Título original: Pew" -- t.p. verso.
Description
"Una persona llega a un pequeño pueblo de Estados Unidos. Las gentes del lugar la encuentran durmiendo en un banco de la iglesia, donde se ha refugiado durante la noche. Es imposible discernir su raza, su edad o su sexo y, aunque entiendo el idioma en el que la hablan, se niega a pronunciar palabra o a contar su historia. La comunidad local, unida por una fuere fe religiosa, se muestra dispuesta a acogerla y la da el nombre de Altar, pero en los seis días siguientes, previos al misterioso Festival del Perdón, su presencia acaba exponiendo los miedos más profundos y las hipocresías de la congregación." --,Back cover.
Description
"In a small unnamed town in the American South, a church congregation arrives to a service and finds a figure asleep on a pew. The person is genderless, racially ambiguous, and refuses to speak. One family takes the strange visitor in and nicknames them Pew. As the town spends the week preparing for a mysterious Forgiveness Festival, Pew is shuttled from one household to the next. The earnest and seemingly well-meaning townspeople see conflicting identities in Pew, and many confess their fears and secrets to them in one-sided conversations. Pew listens and observes while experiencing brief flashes of past lives or clues about their origins. As days pass, the void around Pew's presence begins to unnerve the community, whose generosity erodes into menace and suspicion. Yet by the time Pew's story reaches a shattering and unsettling climax at the Forgiveness Festival, the secret of their true nature -- as a devil or an angel or something else entirely -- is dwarfed by even larger truths."--Publisher description.
