Polyamory and Murderous Thoughts in New Novel
Paulina Flores's new novel, 'The Next Time I See You, I'll Kill You', is making waves. The story follows a Chilean woman navigating life in Barcelona and grappling with the realities of the "expat" experience. But the novel delves deeper, exploring the material and emotional contradictions of modern life, particularly within the context of polyamorous relationships.
The title itself is a bold statement, hinting at the intense emotions and potential conflicts that can arise when exploring non-traditional relationships. Is polyamory a path to liberation or a recipe for disaster? Flores's novel seems to suggest it's a bit of both. The book is described as an "eloquent and insightful chronicle" of the contradictions of our time.
"The novel about a Chilean woman in Barcelona who will never achieve the 'expat' life is an eloquent and provocative chronicle about the material and emotional contradictions of today."
