Lo que lastima al recordar no son las circunstancias, que por fortuna ya no están, sino el solo reconocimiento de lo que antes sentimos, y eso nadie, ni siquiera una amnesia o el mejor de los analgésicos, puede cambiarlo.

Guadalupe Nettel (El cuerpo en que nací).

El huésped (The host) (Guadalupe Nettel) "A story about a girl who feels she has a "sister" that lives within her. She haunts her constantly and devastates her life. We never know whether that sister is real or not, but the mere thought of her drives the girl to paranoia and madness. Her main goal is to destroy her, and to do that, she must become just like her."

Possessing Jessie (Nancy Springer) "Quiet, cautious Jessie had always lived in the shadow of her dynamic younger brother--her mother's clear favorite. His recent death leaves Jessie and her mother numb with grief. That is, until the morning Jessie cuts her hair and dresses in Jason's clothes, swaggering out of the house in an uncanny imitation of her brother. Her mother is visibly cheered, and for once Jessie is the center of attention at school. But each day Jason takes over Jessie more and more. Can she escape his power?"

È vero che esiste il destino, ma c’è anche il libero arbitrio, e consiste nel modo in cui prendiamo le cose che ci tocca vivere.

(Guadalupe Nettel)

[hijolehijola]

¿Será mejor asumir la naturaleza pasajera de las cosas, aprovechar cada segundo la compañía de un amigo como si fuera el último y tener siempre en cuenta que puede morir atropellado ahí mismo, frente al café que nos hizo descubrir? Habría entonces que tomar ejemplo de los niños que viven los días como momentos excepcionales y conocen el verdadero sentido del fin de semana. O quizás convenga más pensar que nada nos pertenece, que cada objeto, cada espejismo de comprensión es el don de un personaje divino cuyo pasatiempo es hacernos perder todo, y no asumir posesiones sería la única manera de burlarlo.

Tomemos la postura que tomemos, algo es seguro: existir es desmoronarse. Me rasco y pierdo un puñado de células, tomo un poco de alcohol y me desprendo de algún porcentaje de hígado. Me quedo dormida junto a la ventana y me pierdo la escena de celos que está haciendo la vecina en el edificio de enfrente, despierto y, de inmediato, olvidó el sueño del que sí conservo alguna sensación.

Perderse a sí mismo es algo para lo que estamos de alguna u otra manera preparados, pero que no nos abandonen; que las personas que consideramos nuestras no desaparezcan, porque entonces el proceso de putrefacción se vuelve intolerable.

-El Huésped, Guadalupe Nettel, 2006

Hay volcanes que permanecen en actividad durante décadas enteras al punto que uno aprende a convivir con su constante amenaza. Yo había sentido siempre dentro de mí una violencia latente que no llegaba nunca a brotar por la puerta de la acción, había llegado a creer incluso que sabía contenerla.

Al colgar el teléfono tenía muy clara la razón de nuestro distanciamiento. Entre Mario y yo la cortesía había quedado aplastada bajo una sinceridad implacable.

Título: La hija única

Autor: Guadalupe Nettel

Editorial: Anagrama

La doceava edición de esta novela con la que Guadalupe Nettel consigue, como de costumbre, tratar un tema original.

Toca temas poco frecuentes con una gran naturalidad y una fuerza extraordinaria.

No se siente snob ni inventada. Mas bien transmite posibilidades reales y verdaderas que, aunque sean poco frecuentes en general, consigue que nunca se dude de su verosimilitud.

Su estilo de escribir es muy bueno. Lástima que el final del libro, digamos desde la última tercera parte, pierde esa fuerza y se va acomodando en un convencionalismo que mata el libro y una historia que empezó tan bien.

Me quedé con la impresión de que no supo como terminarlo. Sin embargo ya va en la décimo segunda edición, lo que habla bastante bien de cómo ha sido recibido.

These things always go together.” – Philippa Gregory This is a weekly post in which I summarise books read, reviewed and currently on my TBR shelf. In addition to a variety of literary titbits, I look ahead to forthcoming features, see what’s on…

Aspettare qualcuno, almeno così, come ho fatto, equivale a cancellare la propria esistenza, a ipotecarla per un condizionale, a scambiarla con un congiuntivo assurdo. Ossessionarsi con qualcuno che ha deciso di non esserlo è regalare minuti, ore e giorni della nostra vita a chi non li ha né richiesti né desidera averli; È condannare quegli stessi minuti, ore e giorni alla dimensione del tempo perduto, dell'inutile; È frustrante per le infinite possibilità che questo tempo ci offre e può essere evitato per la peggiore delle opzioni: la frustrazione, la delusione.

Guadalupe Nettel "Dopo l'inverno"

[p00li]

Mi estado de ánimo oscilaba entre el resentimiento y una tristeza insondable. No dejaba de preguntarme si íbamos a salir de eso y, en caso de no conseguirlo, qué alternativas teníamos. Al menos para mí, no imaginaba ninguna.
