Desastres naturales / Natural Disasters (Narrativa Hispanica) (Spanish Edition)
Description:
El recuerdo de un viaje al sur se convierte para Marco en un fragmento clave en la construcción de su pasado y su identidad: fue la única vez que se sintió cercano a su padre.El recuerdo de un viaje al sur -ocurrido a inicios de los convulsionados años setenta en Chile- se convierte para Marco en un fragmento clave en la construcción de su pasado y su identidad: fue la única vez que se sintió cercano a su padre. En el presente, cumplidos los cincuenta, tras sufrir un accidente vascular leve, reflexiona acerca del papel que tuvieron en su vida ese hombre poderoso e inaccesible, su familia de raíces conservadoras y machistas, otras figuras masculinas que lo rodearon y el rigor de la época en que le tocó crecer.La erupción del volcán Villarrica a fines del 71 y otros desastres naturales que vuelven a su mente con insistencia sirven de augurio y metáfora de los cataclismos personales que le tocaría vivir. Asistimos al paso que da Marco desde la cima de su infancia hacia los territorios de la sexualidad, con su carga de miedo e incertidumbre, y luego a la ruptura con el orden familiar. Vive el rechazo de su mundo como una catástrofe y su mundo vive su diferencia como una fatalidad, todo mientras el país se encorva bajo la dictadura.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION"The memory of a trip to the South during the tumultuous Seventies in Chile, becomes a key piece for Marco to rebuild his past and his identity: it was the only time he had felt close to his father.Now in his fifties, after suffering minor heart issues, he reflects on the role that powerful and inaccessible man played in his life, as well as his conservative and sexist family, and the strict times which he was forced to grow up in.The Villarrica volcano’s eruption at the end of 1971, and other natural disasters that constantly appear as continuous flashbacks in his mind, serve as a sign and metaphor of the personal cataclysms that he would have to live through. We witness Marco's journey from his childhood, to the years full of fear and uncertainty when he became aware of his sexuality, until the break with family order.
