Ver morir una polilla

By Valeria Luiselli

"El aislamiento f?sico al que ahora estamos obligados terminar? alg?n d?a. No sabemos cu?ndo exactamente, pero terminar?. Quiz?s para muchos ya termin?. Dicen que podr?a regresar, nos informan de una probable segunda ola, amenazan con riesgos de nuevos brotes - qui?n sabe. Pero m?s all? de nuestro aislamiento f?sico, hay otro aislamiento m?s profundo. El aislamiento emocional que lentamente se expande en nosotros y a nuestro alrededor, paralelo a la violenta expansi?n del virus, tomar? mucho m?s tiempo para desentra?arse, va a persistir - confuso e inexplicable: una nueva interioridad."

Valeria Luiselli, la galardonada escritora mexicana, describe el paso del tiempo en su departamento en Nueva York durante la ?poca del confinamiento ocasionado por la pandemia de COVID-19.

En este ensayo, Valeria nos comparte un retrato de los momentos que comparte con su hija, su sobrina y la perrita Lola, desde un lugar profundamente ?ntimo.

"The physical isolation we are enduring right now will end one day. We don't know when exactly, but it will end. Perhaps, for many, it has already ended. They tell us that it might return, in probable second waves, in pockets of new outbreaks, who knows. But beyond our physical isolation there is, and will be, another isolation, of a deeper nature, which will stay with us for longer...."

Award-winning Mexican author Valeria Luiselli describes in loving detail the passing of time in her New York City apartment during the quarantine period caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This heartfelt essay examines the most intimate moments Valeria shares with her daughter, her niece, and her dog Lola.
