Overview
EL LIBRO QUE LO EXPLICA, TAMBIÉN.
Tras el éxito de Biografíade X, «la novela del año» (El País), vuelve Catherine Lacey con «un libro enteramente único» (Vulture).
A la deriva tras una ruptura inesperada, la novelista Catherine Lacey comenzó a escribir sobre lo que quedaba de su vida anterior, restos de un naufragio entre los que centelleaba, a pesar de todo, la belleza de sus amistades. Esa escritura se bifurcó en dos caminos que no quiso abandonar: un ensayo personal y una novela breve completamente imaginada pero verdadera. La historia ficticia de dos amigas que se reencuentran después de muchos años amplifica los hallazgos de un ensayo que reflexiona sobre el amor, la fe, el dinero y el sexo. En ambos textos, tanto Lacey como sus personajes evocan encuentros cercanos con la ira masculina, el deseo impulsado por el duelo y el poder redentor del amor platónico y de la narración.
El libro moebius es una obra única sin principio ni final, que puede leerse desde cualquiera de sus lados y que desdibuja la frontera entre memorias y ficción con una vulnerabilidad y una lucidez poco comunes, regalándonos una exploración desgarradora —y reparadora— de los finales y de los comienzos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2025 by the New York Times, Vulture, the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe, The A.V. Club, Chicago Review of Books, OurCulture, and LitHub.
Adrift after a sudden breakup and its ensuing depression, the novelist Catherine Lacey began cataloguing the wreckage of her life and the beauty of her friendships, a practice that eventually propagated fiction both entirely imagined and painfully true. Betrayed by the mercurial partner she had trusted with a shared mortgage and suddenly catapulted into the unknown, Lacey’s appetite vanished, a visceral reminder of the teenage emaciation that came when she stopped believing in God. But through relationships, travel, reading, and memories of her religious fanaticism, she charts the contours of faith’s absence and reemergence. She and her characters recall gnostic experiences with animals, close encounters with male anger, grief-driven lust, and the redemptive power of platonic love and of narrative itself. The result is a book of uncommon vulnerability and wisdom, and a heartbreaking―and heart-mending―exploration of endings and beginnings.
A hybrid work with no beginning or ending, readable from either side, The Möbius Book troubles the line between memory and fiction with an openhearted defense of faith’s power, and inherent danger.
