Overview
Una mujer pone sus esperanzas en una muñeca para resarcir años de abandono a su hija; otra, acompañada de un grupo heterogéneo de dolientes, busca entre las pertenencias de su padre muerto olores y recuerdos que la sigan aferrando a él; dos amigas hacen un viaje a un pueblo idílico junto a una central nuclear y se encontrarán con las tensiones e inquinas que las han acompañado durante tantos años de amistad; un sepulturero ofrece una mirada llena de vida; una mujer busca en la forma del cuento una revelación sobre su vínculo con una pareja en Buenos Aires. Estos relatos -fieles exponentes del universo literario de Trías por la hondura, la exploración de lo no dicho, por el trabajo de filigrana con el lenguaje y la atención puesta sobre aquello que parece estar a punto de quebrarse- llegan al catálogo de Random House luego de haber sido publicados en varios países con excelente crítica.
"No soñarás flores es una colección que conjuga muerte y belleza, que se acerca al mundo, desconfiando de los sentidos de siempre. Cuentos de personajes en tránsito, de traiciones cotidianas, de dolores que no caben en la suma de los días". María José Navia
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“This is his strength: narrating the seemingly unnarratable, the seeds of pain, our precarious attachment to life.” - Magela Baudoin and Giovanna Rivero
A woman puts her hopes in a doll to make up for the years she abandoned her daughter; another, accompanied by a varied group of mourners, searches her dead father’s belongings for memories that will keep her close to him; two friends travel to an idyllic town near a nuclear reactor and wrestle with tensions and resentments that have plagued them for years; a gravedigger with a fresh take on life; a woman who looks for insights in a story to understand her relationship with a couple in Buenos Aires. This volume, now offered by Random House after being published to excellent reviews in other countries, is representative of the depth of Trías’s literary universe, its exploration of the unsaid, exquisite prose and emphasis on fragility.
“You Will Not Dream of Flowers is a collection of stories that link death and beauty. It approaches the world with mistrust of our usual senses. These are stories of people in transit, daily betrayals, pain too vast to fit within the sum of our days.” - María José Navia
