Overview
Este libro no se acaba hasta que se acabe la vida. Pues es una suerte de diario en marcha en donde se reĆŗnen muy diversos textos que van descifrando a su autora, y nos descubre los caminos que ha andado y desandado, desde su primer contacto con el deseo, pasando por sus batallas con el cuerpo, la exhibiciĆ³n pĆŗblica, la actuaciĆ³n, sus ideas sobre Dios y sus cuestionamientos al concepto del "yo". En este esfuerzo constante por encontrarse y por mostrar que su retrato aĆŗn estĆ” inacabado, y puede ser un territorio pleno de posibilidades, Margarita Rosa de Francisco repasa los misterios de la vida: la belleza, la mortalidad, el erotismo, la escritura, el miedo, la desobediencia, en fin, el poder de los hechos y las palabras.
Con una prosa genuina, directa y sin concesiones, Margarita va sola nos revela los pliegues de una mente inquieta e inquietante. Su autora hace estallar el espejo en el que se refleja y consigue que los fragmentos sean una lectura feraz y colmada de elocuencia.
"En el lenguaje "salsachokeƱo", cuando dicen que alguien "va solo" es porque va "sobrado"; es decir, que no necesita ayuda, va tranquilo, va lejos, va sin miedo de que lo alcancen. A este libro lo bauticĆ© con esa frase porque es un intento de pensar y despensar en solitario [ā¦]. Lo de "ir sobrada" tambiĆ©n prefiero tomarlo como una voz de aliento; esa voz que anima a seguir adelante cuando uno estĆ” inseguro de lograr algo, y que dirĆa, en clave de salsachoke, "tranquila que va sola, va sobrada, hĆ”gale que no hay peligro". En este contexto, "ir sola" es lo conveniente, lo seguro; cuando, por lo regular, una mujer que va sola se encuentra en situaciĆ³n de alta vulnerabilidad". Margarita Rosa de Francisco, en el texto que abre este libro.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A vital journey through the mind of one of the most essential voices in Colombia today.
This book does not end until life ends. It is a sort of diary-in-progress compiling different texts that decipher the author and open the roads she has traced and retraced since her first contact with desire, as well as her struggles with her body, public display, acting, her ideas about God, and her questioning of the concept of āself.ā In this constant effort to find herself and show her portrait remains unfinished, and can well be a realm of possibility, Margarita Rosa de Francisco reviews lifeās mysteries: beauty, mortality, eroticism, writing, fear, disobedienceāin sum, the power of facts and words.
Ā
With a genuine, straightforward, and uncompromising prose, Margarita Goes at It Alone reveals the creases of a restless and disturbing mind. The author breaks her reflecting mirror and ensures the fragments become a fertile read, filled with eloquence.
Ā
āIn the salsachokeƱo language, when someone says they āgo at it aloneā it is because they are āmore than enough,ā meaning, they do not need help, they go quietly and reach far, unafraid to get caught. This book is baptized with this line because it is an attempt to think and unthink in solitude... I also rather take being āmore than enoughā as an encouragement, that voice that cheers you on when you feel insecure about achieving something, which, in salsachoke code, would say, āeasy, for she goes at it alone, she is more than enough; go for it, there is no danger.ā In this context, āgo at it aloneā is convenient, safe. Typically, when a woman goes at it alone, she finds herself in a situation of great vulnerability.ā āMargarita Rosa de Francisco, from the bookās opening text.
