Overview

Un inventario de las mejores ficciones recientes de Helen DeWitt, la revolucionaria autora de El último samurái.

«Helen DeWitt debería haber ocupado el podio de la next generation, junto a David Foster Wallace y George Saunders». —Laura Fernández, El País

Criada en Marrakech por una madre francesa y un padre inglés, Marguerite ha aprendido a no incurrir en la menor falta de gusto. No hay que hacer trabajar a los sirvientes durante el Ramadán y, mientras ellos gozan de un permiso remunerado, hay que hospedarse en el Claridge’s e instalar un piano en la suite. El tweed debe venir de las Hébridas y el mejor lino de Irlanda, pero las prendas las deben confeccionar los sastres de Londres. Esas, y muchas otras, son las lecciones que Marguerite ha recibido de sus padres. Pero a los diecisiete años descubre que ha sido víctima de un gran engaño y tiene que guiarse por los dictados del buen gusto para defenderse sola entre los tiburones de la industria editorial.

A esta primera nouvelle le sigue una serie de relatos por los que desfilan escritores, artistas, músicos, editores, agentes y hombres de negocios disfrazados de promotores culturales. El genio creativo y el deseo de llevarlo a término chocan con las exigencias del mercado, la precariedad y la necesidad de ganarse la vida. Con su ironía inconfundible y su inteligencia feroz, Helen DeWitt convierte ese mundo injusto, a menudo despiadado, en un territorio tan cómico como imprevisible.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A modern amorality play about a 17-year-old girl, the wilder shores of connoisseurship, and the power of false friends
Maman was exigeante—there is no English word–and I had the benefit of her training. Others may not be so fortunate. If some other young girl, with two million dollars at stake, finds this of use I shall count myself justified.

Raised in Marrakech by a French mother and English father, a 17-year-old girl has learned above all to avoid mauvais ton ("bad taste" loses something in the translation). One should not ask servants to wait on one during Ramadan: they must have paid leave while one spends the holy month abroad. One must play the piano; if staying at Claridge’s, one must regrettably install a Clavinova in the suite, so that the necessary hours of practice will not be inflicted on fellow guests. One should cultivate weavers of tweed in the Outer Hebrides but have the cloth made up in London; one should buy linen in Ireland but have it made up by a Thai seamstress in Paris (whose genius has been supported by purchase of suitable premises). All this and much more she has learned, governed by a parent of ferociously lofty standards. But at 17, during the annual Ramadan travels, she finds all assumptions overturned. Will she be able to fend for herself? Will the dictates of good taste suffice when she must deal, singlehanded, with the sharks of New York?
