Overview
A los veintiséis años, a Anabé le dijeron que tenía cáncer en la cara. Ese fue el principio de todo.
Este libro es el testimonio real de esa experiencia. Pero no es un libro de autoayuda, ni un diario terapéutico, ni una lección de superación. La última planta es una novela de autoficción que transforma la enfermedad en literatura, la rutina hospitalaria en teatro del absurdo, el miedo en humor, el dolor en deseo.
Aquí hay pasillos infinitos y hospitales laberínticos, pero también hay sexo, infancia, panderetas, entrevistas imaginarias con Dios y bodas sin pareja. Es una obra sobre el proceso de madurar y los cambios vitales. La narración se construye como un juego de géneros: una mezcla libre y valiente de fábula, ensayo, diario, poesía y teatro. Géneros para contar lo que no se puede decir de una sola forma.
Porque todo parte de la literatura. Y todo —hasta lo más crudo— puede convertirse en ella.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
At the age of twenty-six, Anabé was told she had cancer on her face. That was the beginning of everything.
This book is the true account of that experience. But it is not a self-help book, nor a therapeutic diary, nor a lesson in overcoming adversity. The Last Floor is a novel of autofiction that transforms illness into literature, hospital routine into theater of the absurd, fear into humor, pain into desire.
Here there are endless corridors and labyrinthine hospitals, but there is also sex, childhood, tambourines, imaginary interviews with God, and weddings without partners. It is a work about the process of maturing and life changes. The narrative is constructed as a play on genres: a free and courageous mixture of fable, essay, diary, poetry, and theater. Genres to tell what cannot be said in a single form.
Because everything starts with literature. And everything—even the rawest things—can become literature.
