Solo Un Poco Aquí / Just Here for a While

After her outstanding debut novel, Variations on the Body, Maria Ospina Pizano returns with a novel that is both animals and movement: a migratory scarlet tanager struggles with forced detours caused by buildings and city lights, an orphaned porcupine is fed human milk, two dogs take refuge together after being abandoned, and a beetle that has just come out of the earth gets lost.
