Description
Summary:This article discusses the wildlife universe in Lara Moreno’s Piel de lobo. Zoomorphisms and narrative games with insects or mammals are frequently used to enhance this work. Piel de lobo is about a way out, loneliness, maternity and the family. It also compares the urban and the rural world as in Por si se va la luz. Lara Moreno’s has an unique writing style -simple and fast-paced descriptions with temporary shifts between present and past- which improves a gloomy story full of secrets portrayed by wasps, wolves, lambs, birds and tigers able to turn into dogs.
