Overview

El nuevo libro del autor de El desbarrancadero, Premio FIL de Literatura y Premio RĆ³mulo Gallegos

Ā«Su ira explosiva es tan brillante, tan sonora, real, sincera, divertida a veces, cruel casi siempre, que su lectura es algo gozoso y tonificanteĀ».Ā ā€”Pedro AlmodĆ³var

En Escombros, libro que entronca directamente con una de las obras mĆ”s emblemĆ”ticas y reconocidas del autor, El desbarrancadero, Fernando Vallejo narra la llegada de la noche del mundo, ese tiempo que va desde la agonĆ­a de su compaƱero, el escenĆ³grafo mexicano David AntĆ³n ā€”que coincide con el terremoto que asolĆ³ Ciudad de MĆ©xico en 2018ā€” y su muerte, y el momento actual, marcado por una pandemia que mantiene en vilo a todo el planeta. La historia personal del autor, la pĆ©rdida de su compaƱero de vida de mĆ”s de cincuenta aƱos y su vuelta a Colombia sirven de metĆ”fora de la actualidad, un mundo en destrucciĆ³n en el que el narrador camina por una ciudad en la que ya solo puede ver fantasmas.

Ā«Desde CicerĆ³n, e incluyĆ©ndolo a Ć©l, los viejos no han logrado decir nada definitivo sobre la vejez. No logran contarla. Acaso porque hace parte de ella el cansancio. El verdadero viejo, digamos uno de cien, estĆ” tan cansado que lo Ćŗnico que quiere es descansar y no hacerle favores a nadie explicĆ”ndole cosas. En Escombros no. El viejo maldiciente de este libro estarĆ” loco, pero lo que dice me deja maravillado. En todo tiene la razĆ³n. Le estoy muy agradecido por su escombrera, se me hace una suma de sabidurĆ­a, me disipa muchas incertidumbres, ya sĆ© lo que me espera cuando envejezca, la recomiendo ampliamenteĀ».Ā ā€”Margarito Ledesma

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The new book by the author of El desbarrancadero / The Edge of the Abyss, winner of the Guadalajara Book Fair Prize for Literature, and the RĆ³mulo Gallegos Prize
Ā 
"His explosive anger is so bright, so sonorous, real, sincere, funny at times, cruel almost always, that reading it is something joyful and invigorating."Ā ā€”Pedro Almodovar
Ā 
In Rubble, a book that connects directly with one of the most emblematic and recognized works of the author, El desbarrancadero / The Edge of the Abyss, Fernando Vallejo narrates the arrival of night in the world, that time that goes from his partnerā€™sĀ  agony, the Mexican set designer David AntĆ³n which coincides with the earthquake that struck Mexico City in 2018 and his death, and the current moment, marked by a pandemic that keeps the entire planet in suspense. The author's personal story, the loss of his life partner of more than fifty years, and his return to Colombia serve as a metaphor for today, a world in destruction in which the narrator walks through a city where he can only see ghosts.
