Cabeza y orquídeas
Karina Pacheco Medrano

NOVEL | 2012 | 120 pages

Winner of the 2010 Federico Villarreal National Novel Prize

The morning she turns 18, a young girl receives a bouquet of orchids that leaves the smell of happiness in her room. At night, she will have to face the decapitated head of a man she isn’t able to recognize.

Karina Pacheco dives into the universe of a teenager who lives in a bubble of absolute power. This is how her birthday party becomes a mirror of her own abyss: a vortex where we witness the prelude to a hard hit with reality.
