No Customer Reviews
Una novela carnavalesca que deja fluir el recuerdo deuna exmilitante que luch en contra de la dictadura en Chile.
«Una muestra m s de su fina, precisa e implacable forma de narrar lo vivido. --Carla Grassi, Infobae
La Caldini es acusada por su marido de abandonar el hogar en com n. Durante el juicio se involucra con una abogada y un ex-preso pol tico que la llevan de regreso a sus a os de juventud, al barrio El Salto y a una lucha contra la dictadura que le parece muy distante, como si la joven de entonces no fuese ella. Cargada de humor negro, con personajes y episodios carnavalescos, El futuro es un lugar extra o propone una desopilante vuelta a un Chile de los a os ochenta que no huele a souvenir. Una delicada puesta en escena narrativa permite a la autora relatar la experiencia quebrada y fantasmal de una mujer congelada entre sus sue os pol ticos de juventud y el sofocante presente. Un ajuste de cuentas con la generaci n pol tica de la entrega, de la democracia vigilada, de la conversi n y el acomodo individual. Una novela inc moda, podr a decirse, de refinada ferocidad, de corrosiva sutileza. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An absurdist novel that gives free rein to the memories of a former militant who fought against dictatorship in Chile.
"Yet another example of Rimsky's] elegant, precise and unsparing ability to narrate lived experience." - Carla Grassi, Infobae
La Caldini's husband accuses her of abandoning their home. During her trial, her conversations with an attorney and former political prisoner take her back to her youth, to the El Salto neighborhood, and resistance against dictatorship. It all seems very far away, as though she were no longer the same person. Packed with black humor and absurd characters and episodes, The Future Is a Strange Place is a giddy spin through 1980s Chile, a tumultuous period in the country's history. Rimsky's skillful narrative paints a picture of a woman torn between the political idealism of her youth and the suffocating present. Calling to account the generation that oversaw the political transition, the guarded nature of democracy, political conversion and accommodation, this is an uncomfortable novel crafted with refined ferocity and corrosive subtlety.
