Overview
Un libro emocionante y necesario.
«De lo mejor que se ha publicado: una obra maestra del género.»
Manuel Rodríguez Rivero, Babelia
Durante toda su vida, Alison Bechdel ha buscado un secreto escurridizo. Ha rastreado en sus libros preferidos, en las vidas de sus ídolos, en el celibato, en el poliamor, en el activismo y en la terapia psicológica, pero sobre todo en su pasión casi obsesiva por hacer ejercicio: esquí, running, kárate, ciclismo, yoga… lo que fuera. Sin embargo, al hacerse mayor, el cuerpo ya no siempre le sigue, quizá porque el secreto más importante de todos no esté donde una espera.
En su tercer libro de memorias gráficas, tras Fun Home y ¿Eres mi madre?, Alison Bechdel teje un relato íntimo sobre la identidad, la mortalidad, la adicción, la alegría, la fortuna y las preocupaciones de toda una generación. El secreto de la fuerza sobrehumana es una crónica extraordinaria e hilarante sobre los arcanos de la búsqueda de nuestro lugar en el mundo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
After nine years of silence, comes Alison Bechdel’s work of maturity.
An exciting and necessary book.
For her entire life, Alison Bechdel has searched for an elusive secret. She has tracked it in her favorite books, in the lives of her idols, in celibacy, in polyamory, in activism and therapy, but above all in her almost obsessive passion for exercising: skiing, running, karate, cycling, yoga…whatever. Nevertheless, when getting older, the body doesn’t always cooperate, maybe because the most important secret of all is not where one expects.
In her third book of graphic memories, after Fun Home and Are You my Mom? Alison Bechdel weaves a story about identity, mortality, addiction, happiness, fortune and the worries of a whole generation. The Secret of Superhuman Strength is an extraordinary chronicle and a hilarious story about the mysteries of the quest to find our place in the world.
