Overview
Este libro no es un tratado, no es de culinaria y, más que para mujeres tristes, parece escrito para mujeres alegres, demasiado alegres. Héctor Abad, una de las principales voces de la literatura colombiana, aborda con un humor sutil la psicología femenina, y propone lo que él mismo llama «repentinos antídotos para la pertinaz melancolía». Recetas para seducir, consejos contra el mal de amores o la soltería, remedios contra la tristeza...
«¿Quién te ha dicho que se prohíbe estar triste? No dejes que te receten alegría, como quien receta una temporada de antibióticos. Si dejas que te traten tu tristeza como una perversión, o en el mejor de los casos como una enfermedad, estás perdida: además de estar triste te sentirás culpable. Y no tienes la culpa de estar triste.»
«Este autor conoce muy bien la psiquis femenina.» - El País
«La lacónica sabiduría de la vida que se deja ver en sus caprichosas recomendaciones es ambrosía para el alma, aun para la masculina.» - Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
«Este es un libro que serenamente conoce cómo es el ser humano, y cómo acortar, o reconciliar la distancia entre el cuerpo y la mente.» - The Guardian
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Culinary Treaty for Sad Women by Héctor Abad Faciolince
A novel by one of the best Colombian writers.
If writers are liars who tell the truth, the title of this book fulfills its mission: it is not a treaty, it is not about cooking, and more than for sad women, it seems to be written for happy women—too happy. However, it does have recipes, so in a certain sense it is a cookbook. And since it sometimes makes you laugh, it is possible that it consoles you, so it could be useful for sad women, or at least for women who have known sadness. And for men? Well, men are poor things banished from the kitchen, so it behooves them to know what’s going on in there.
