Overview
El ir y volver de los pájaros, las penas y risas de la vida a los setenta años, la renuncia a la pareja, las conversaciones con sus hermanas en pleno encierro, los cambios sociales de un país y un mundo enardecidos, los amigos que mueren, la feliz dedicación a un nieto, las relaciones entre los perros del campo donde vive, la deslumbrada lectura de los clásicos.
Marcela Serrano se dio a la tarea, durante tres años consecutivos, de consignar en cuadernos, a mano, algún hecho de cada día. Entre la fragilidad y el goce, observó su propia vida y lo que ocurría en su entorno, donde encontró tantas o más aventuras que en la ficción. Asignándole a cada cuaderno un foco –delicias cotidianas para el primer año, asombros para el segundo y la luminosidad del sol para el tercero–, Serrano renueva sorprendentemente con A vuelo de pájaro las formas de su escritura, al tiempo que expone las derivas de una mujer que en la madurez se piensa a sí misma con arrojo y curiosidad.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“Because of writers like Marcela Serrano, life will never utter its last words.” —Carlos Fuentes
The coming and going of birds, the laughter and sorrows of life in her seventies, giving up herpartner, the conversations with her sisters during lockdown, the social changes of a country anda world aflame, friends who die, the happy devotion to her grandson, the mating of countrydogs where she lives, the dazzling reading of the classics.
For three consecutive years, Marcela Serrano took it upon herself to write down in hernotebooks, by hand, some everyday occurrence. Amid fragility and joy, she observed her ownlife and what was happening around her, and found many or even more adventures than infiction. Serrano gave each notebook a focal point—everyday delights the first year, amazementthe second, and the sun’s luminosity on the third—and surprisingly renewed her forms ofwriting with A Birds-Eye View, all the while exposing the drifts of a mature woman that regardsherself with boldness and curiosity.
