En esta oportunidad les daré mi opinión sobre el libro "Los Abismos" de la escritora Pilar Quintana.

Me pareció un libro interesante, mezcla muchas emociones y situaciones que hacen que se sumergas en la lectura, más que todo el inicio, me entretuvo mucho leyendo y hacía que mi tiempo pasara rápido. Aunque después de la mitad me empecé a desinteresar ya que me confundí bastante. Igual creo que es un muy buen libro, Recomendado. 🫦

[sawreadreviewed]

Pilar Quintana’s Los abismos and echinacea tea because I am sick. Los abismos is a fast reas because the language is simple and there’s not a lot of it per page, but it’s a slow read because I’m halfway through and still not that interested in what’s happening - or not happening, as the case may be. I have hope though!

Title: The Bitch Author: Pilar Quintana Translator: Lisa Dillman Publication Year of Translation: 2020 Publisher: World Editions Genre: fiction

This was such a fascinating and disturbing read, especially in the way it reframes what motherhood can look like. The protagonist, Damaris, is a childless woman who adopts a stray female dog that she cares for like a human child to the point of obsession. While this sounds charming, the book is anything but, as it dives into the question of what it means to be a mother (and even what it means to be a bitch), as well as the deep issues that Damaris projects onto the dog that leads to terrible events.

Quintana doesn't shy away from describing the uglier aspects of human nature, such as the way jealousy, insecurity, and anger can consume us entirely. As a result, The Bitch definitely reads as more ruthless to the point of some probably finding the book completely cruel. Much to think about, but it's definitely not for the faint of heart (nor would it be a book I'd recommend for animal lovers, especially dog lovers). I didn't love or hate this, and if there's one complaint I have, it's that I wish some ideas were fleshed out a bit more.

Content Warning: animal death, animal cruelty, infertility, child death

FROM LOS ABISMOS BY PILAR QUINTANA

Mom suggested we go for a walk. She never went out with me and dad in Cali, so I looked at her surprised.

“What's so weird about that?” she asked.

We pulled on jeans, t-shirts, and rubber boots and tied sweaters around our waists in case it got cloudy and cold. Then, the two of us went up the stone drive, opened the black steel gate, and stepped out onto the unpaved road.

We walked slowly, looking at the houses, old and new, built of brick or wood, with large and small windows, sloped or flat roofs. There were all different kinds and they had gardens filled with flowers and fruit trees, pine hedges from behind which dogs barked at us or wagged their tails.

We crossed paths with another pair of pedestrians — old people with hats and walking sticks — a peasant hauling a heavy load on his shoulders, and a parade of young revelers carrying a giant boombox with music in English and passing around a bottle of aguardiente.

We saw a flock of green parakeets with blue markings around their eyes, a lone cow grazing on a treeless plot, and two gorges with high crags and noisy waters like an angry crowd.

Next, we came to a stretch of woods where the world got darker. There were trees weighed down with moss, big-leaved plants, fallen trunks rotting on the ground, and a light post consumed by a rust-like orange fuzz. A curve followed and at the end of the curve, a cliff. We drew closer. Slowly, uncertain. Skinny trees gripped the mountain’s rocky face, and just after that the land dropped off as if split by an axe.

I felt very small — like the baby girl looking out at our apartment’s staircase from behind the safety gate, but now without the gate. Me, with nothing more than my body, at the edge of an actual cliff. The canyon was narrow at that point and, down there, the river, which collected streams and rivulets from the mountain, was covered with vegetation, an untamed jungle.

I thought about dead women. Leaning over the cliff was like looking into their eyes. Into the eyes of Gloria Inés, fiery as a mare and then, later, smashed against the sidewalk. I looked up at my mom, who was, like me, bending toward the abyss.

“We’d better head back,” she said.

From Los Abismos by Pilar Quintana, pp. 151-153, translated unofficially by books lozano, 2021

Introducción

Problema y pregunta de investigación.

En 2010, Eloy Fernández Porta, un escritor y ensayista español, publica Afterpop: la implosión de la literatura mediática. En este libro, Fernández Porta propone una crítica literaria que dé cuenta de la literatura que surge en el siglo XXI; particularmente, se pregunta “¿qué viene después de lo pop?” (Apablaza, 2007), haciendo alusión al surgimiento de la figura pop del escritor que aparece durante el siglo XX. La pregunta emerge de una crítica a la exacerbación de la figura del autor que sobrevino a partir de su mediatización en la televisión en las décadas de 1960 y 1970: “su conversión en personajes, con una actitud y anecdotario que pasa a ser dominio incluso de quienes poco o nada han leído de sus obras” (Morán, 2018, p. 42). El autor convertido en figura pop asiste a la disolución de oposiciones como las de alta y baja cultura o lo normal y lo pop que trae el caos de la cultura de consumo, nivelando esas oposiciones y haciendo imposible la pretendida distinción que aún se plasmaba en la ironía de lo pop del siglo XX. Disolución de la que surge, entonces, lo afterpop.

Lo anterior, en consideración a que, como analiza Carmen Morán Rodríguez, “Aunque en los años 70 se dio al autor por muerto, muchas han sido las voces que en los últimos años han reclamado revisar su certificado de defunción” (2018, p. 40). A diferencia de una concepción generalizada de la internet como el último paso en la desaparición postestructuralista del autor, Morán propone a la internet como un lugar de creación y posicionamiento de los autores: “[...] consideramos que Internet constituye la palestra idónea en la que culmina una visibilización del autor que nunca había llegado a morir y que desde finales del siglo XIX ha encontrado múltiples maneras de hacerse presente” (p. 40). De hecho, Morán Rodríguez afirma que “hay en la actualidad más síntomas de la salud de la categoría autorial” (2018, p. 40) y, por ello, dice que se manifiesta en huellas de esa categoría, de la cual surge la huella visual personal, la cual se refiere a la conformación del autor en su imagen.

Para este caso de estudio, dicha huella que se manifiesta en la presencia pública del autor resulta de especial interés para comprender la manera en que un autor crea su presencia para mantenerse activo y visible para el público. Carmen Morán Rodríguez destaca que es en internet y a través de las redes sociales que el autor ha logrado hacerse presente en la actualidad. De allí, entonces, que cobre importancia el concepto de presencia digital, el cual, "se puede reducir simplemente a ocupar un espacio en línea” (Ramírez y Aguilar, 2016, p. 2). Esta presencia se define a partir de la denominada web 2.0 en la que se integran funciones sociales que permiten una interacción bidireccional (Ramírez y Aguilar, 2016, p. 2) y en donde cobran importancia las redes sociales que, como destacan Ramírez y Aguilar, han provocado cambios en el comportamiento y relacionamiento de los seres humanos en la actividad social. El autor, en este contexto, no estaría exento de la frase del líder digital del Departamento de Estado de la administración estadounidense de Barak Obama, Tom Cochran: “si alguien en la actualidad no tiene presencia digital, entonces no existe” (Ramírez y Aguilar, 2016, p. 2).

En este panorama -en el que Carmen Morán dice que “Como si de una celebrity actual se tratase, el público se interesa por la vida amorosa del escritor, etc.” (2018, p. 47)- el escritor va a generar su figura de autor, solo que en el panorama de lo digital no está simplemente sujeto al espacio de las programadoras, sino que “[...] el autor también producirá sus propias publicaciones y apariciones, con una libertad en la mostración de su nombre, su persona y su actividad” (Morán, 2018, p. 44). Surgen, entonces, las preguntas: ¿De qué manera se dan las interacciones en las redes sociales para la conformación de la figura de autor de un escritor? y ¿cómo se entiende la intensidad de esas interacciones?

El caso de estudio propuesto para responder a estas preguntas y guiado por el panorama del escritor afterpop es el del uso que hace de Twitter, una plataforma que ofrece a los usuarios la posibilidad de realizar microblogging, la escritora colombiana Pilar Quintana, nacida en Cali, Valle del Cauca, y autora de las novelas La perra, premio EAFIT 2018 y PEN Translates Award 2019, y Los abismos, premio Alfaguara 2021 (Escárraga, 2022), para construirse a sí misma como autora y visibilizar, desde allí, su propia obra.

Delimitación temporal

Se elabora un estudio de caso analizando datos capturados entre el 19 de abril y el 2 de mayo de 2023 aprovechando la coyuntura de la Feria Internacional del libro de Bogotá (Filbo), teniendo en cuenta que es uno de los eventos más importantes a nivel nacional y latinoamericano que pone en el centro del foco a los escritores y la relevancia en el panorama literario y cultural local que ha cobrado la escritora vallecaucana.
