Overview
Novela que cuenta el nacimiento de una actitud ante la vida: la que modificó, hasta sus raíces, nuestras formas de comportamiento.
De perfil es un rito de iniciación gozoso, agresivo, desenfadado, lleno de ironía pero también de rigor y de esperanza, recoge literalmente varias de las más antiguas y sólidas tradiciones pero también se abre a una gama infinita de posibilidades técnicas y narrativas.
Su lenguaje es una necesidad de contenido: como el mundo que aquí se despliega es el de la juventud, de quienes empiezan a erguirse por sus propios pies -y con la pequeña ayuda de sus amigos- ante la existencia para revolucionarla o enajenarse en ella, las formas y las palabras son jóvenes también, muestran una vitalidad feroz y un propósito firme de revitalizar el arte.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A novel that portrays the birth of an attitude toward life—one that transformed, down to its roots, the very way we behave.
In Profile is a joyful, aggressive, uninhibited coming-of-age ritual, full of irony yet also of rigor and hope. It draws upon several of our oldest and most solid traditions, while at the same time opening itself to an infinite range of technical and narrative possibilities.
Its language is a necessity of its content: since the world that unfolds here is that of youth—of those who are just beginning to stand on their own two feet, with a little help from their friends, as they face existence in order to revolutionize it or lose themselves in it—the forms and words are young as well. They display a fierce vitality and a determined intention to revitalize art.
