Pandora

Confined to her apartment and increasingly detached from reality, a literature professor begins a romantic relationship with a pangolin.

Ana, a literature professor, plans her remote classes while confined to her apartment during lockdown. Her only companion is her cat, Fel?cio, who she suspects is a spy. Freshly divorced, she plunges into three relationships: first with a woman named Alice, then with a horny and overbearing pangolin, and finally with a giant bat. She begins incorporating literary experiments and anthropomorphized animals into her syllabus, despite warnings from her colleagues not to swim against the academic or political current in dark times.

Equal parts tender and grotesque, Pandora, hailed as "an extraordinary piece of fiction, unafraid of anything" (Roberto Schwartz), reveals the unsettling ease with which care can slip into violence.
