SERIES:Narrativas hispánicas
A narrative mosaic plotted with a brief and roughly lyrical style. Aurora Freijo once again makes the unbearable poetic.
Words become alien to a woman with a serious eye disease as she tries to thread together the story of her fragile body. That threatened body awakens the memory of her dead mother and the years wasted at the side of an inconsistent lover. Why narrate? How not to tremble? But despite the vertigo caused by helplessness and loneliness, the hope for a future life lives on.
This book is a narrative mosaic plotted with a brief style and the author’s characteristic harsh lyricism. In her second novel, Aurora Freijo once again makes the unbearable poetic: devastation that is lived and imagined; thought and written. Cuerpo vítreo is a one-of-a-kind exercise in observing the personal and the unfathomable; a work about pain and lucidity that at the same time reminds us that we can hold on a little longer. At least for one more breath.
«A worthy heir to Céline, Genet and the Sartre of 'La Nausea'» (El Diario Montañés)
«Dry, exact, and like a shot to the heart» (Juan Barja).
«There is no didactism. She treats the reader like an adult. An iron fist in silk gloves» (Juan Gracia Armendáriz).
