LOS ESCORPIONES
Los Escorpiones is a gripping, darkly poetic novel that delves into the lives of complex characters trapped in the tumult of their own emotional and existential struggles. With masterful prose, Barquinero explores themes of alienation, identity, and the pursuit of meaning in a fractured world, which has granted her the status of an author of her whole generation and one of the highlights this year.
The young novelist Sara Barquineropraised by Carlos Zanón, Nuria Labari, Andrés Barba, Elvira Navarro, Elizabeth Duval, and Luna Miguel establishes herself as a major literary force with an astonishing work of fiction.

Los escorpiones is a novel of novels: a titanic and mysterious narrative piece. The protagonists, Sara and Thomas, become wrapped up in a conspiracy theory driven by political and economic forces that aim to exert control through hypnosis and subliminal messaging in books, video games, and music in order to induce suicide. Both characters navigate emotional turmoil as an indescribable and powerful bond begins to form between them, and they ultimately choose to investigate this cult, which shares a name with one of the few animal species that would rather kill itself than endure pain.
Sara Barquinero (Zaragoza, 1994) holds a PhD in Philosophy. In 2018 she was awarded a creative grant at the Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid, where she wrote her nouvelle Terminal (Milenio, 2020).
In 2016 she received the Universal Values Essay Prize from the Unir Foundation, the Virginia Woolf Prize for short stories in English in 2017, the IAJ Prize for artistic and technological creation in the literature category in 2018, the Voces Nuevas Prize for poetry from Editorial Torremozas in 2019 and has been considered a revelation author of Spanish literature in 2021 by Woman magazine. After Estaré sola y sin fiesta (Lumen, 2021), in 2024 she published Los Escorpiones (Lumen, 2024) a visionary novel that became one of the best novels of the year.
