Overview

Tras el fenómeno de El consentimiento, traducido en 31 países, aclamado por la crítica y llevado al cine, vuelve Vanessa Springora con una impactante novela que desenmascara el pasado de los hombres de su familia.

«Vanessa Springora está a la altura de sus compatriotas Delphine de Vigano Emmanuel Carrère, imprescindibles en cualquier canon de la literatura actual de no ficción». —Inés Martín Rodrigo, ABC

En medio de la promoción de su primera novela, El consentimiento, que provocó un seísmo social y literario, Vanessa Springora recibe una llamada de la policía para que acuda a identificar el cuerpo sin vida de su padre, un hombre fabulador y misántropo que había terminado por convertirse en un extraño para ella. Pero al vaciar su casa, algo llama su atención: dos fotos antiguas de su abuelo paterno en las que exhibe la esvástica. Un descubrimiento que echa por tierra la versión del querido abuelo checo, Josef, reclutado a la fuerza por el ejército nazi, desertor en Francia, colaborador de los estadounidenses durante la liberación y «refugiado privilegiado» como disidente del régimen comunista.

Comienza así una obsesiva búsqueda para saber quién era en realidad ese hombre que le dio su apellido y cómo pudo o no «consentir» la barbarie. A lo largo de dos años, Vanessa rastreará documentos familiares, archivos checos, alemanes y franceses, y se reunirá con testigos para tratar de recomponer un itinerario verosímil. Pero siempre faltan piezas.

Alternando ficción, investigación, diario de viaje y leyendas familiares, y con Kafka, Gombrowicz, Zweig o Kundera en mente, Springora se zambulle en la historia del siglo XX para reflexionar sobre la naturaleza implacable del linaje y el poder devastador de lo que ha sido silenciado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

After the editorial phenomenon of Consent, translated in 31 countries, acclaimed by critics, and made into a movie, Vanessa Springora returns with an astounding novel that unmasks the past of the men in her family.

While promoting her first novel, Consent, which provoked a social and literary seism, Vanessa Springora receives a phone call from the police, asking her to come identify her father’s lifeless body, a fabricator and misanthrope that in the end was nothing more than a stranger to her. But while emptying his house, something caught her attention: two old photographs of her paternal grandfather wearing a swastika. Discovery that makes the version of dear old Czech grandpa Josef come tumbling down, forcefully recruited by the Nazi army, deserter in France, collaborator to the Americans during the liberation, and “privileged refugee” as dissident of the Communist regime.

And thus began an obsessive search to know who the man that gave her his name was, and how he might have “consented” to the slaughter, or not. Over the course of two years, Vanessa traces family documents, Czech, German, and French archives, and meets with witnesses in an attempt to reconstruct a believable itinerary. But there are always some missing pieces.

Alternating fiction, research, travel journal, and family legends, with Kafka, Gombrowicz, Zweig, or Kundera in mind, Springora delves into twentieth century history to reflect upon the implacable nature of lineage and the devastating power of what has been silenced.
