Maggie Smith

En 2018, la escritora y poeta estadounidense Maggie Smith, casada y madre de dos hijos, descubre que su marido tiene una relación con otra mujer. En cuestión de días, la realidad que había construido durante mas de veinte años se derrumba y da paso a un dolor que convertira, a traves de la escritura, en un renovado compromiso consigo misma. A base de pequeñas viñetas, pieza a pieza, Smith traza una reflexion llena de empatia y humor sobre la desintegracion de un matrimonio que es tambien un ajuste de cuentas con la feminidad contemporanea, los roles tradicionales de genero y las dinamicas de poder que persisten incluso en las parejas mas modernas. Pagina a pagina, estos fragmentos terminan erigiendose en un interrogatorio a la familia, el trabajo y el amor. El resultado son estas memorias fragmentarias, una obra de descarnada sinceridad que nos cuenta como, tras la perdida y la rabia, podemos redescubrirnos y hacer de todo ello algo nuevo y bonito.Este libro es un regalo. Leslie JamisonUna metadiseccion del acto de escribir sobre un suceso desgarrador y en carne viva. Es tambien una excavacion, la investigacion de un asesinato, un intento de responder a preguntas que en si mismas son dificiles de articular. ¿Que ocurrio? ¿Por que? ¿Hubo una sola causa? ¿Es posible hacer las paces con lo desconocido? Sarah Lyall (The New York Times)Un libro extraordinario. Ann PatchettComo cronica de un divorcio y meditacion sobre la maternidad, es inquebrantable, revelador y esta exquisitamente escrito. Hannah Beckerman (The Guardian)

Hannah Beckerman (The Guardian)Todas deberiamos leer este libro. Inteligente, divertido, conmovedor y maravillosamente escrito. Es una delicia. Una historia sobre la perdida como comienzo de otra vida, la propia, sobre el final como principio de todo. Ines Martin Rodrigo[Un] relato autobiografico a tumba abierta y con la lucidez del amor propio herido. Lourdes Ventura (El Cultural)En esta obra, Smith explora el duelo, la perdida y la reinvencion con una sinceridad desarmante. ¿Que significa reconstruirse cuando el mundo que conocias se derrumba? Esta es una invitacion a mirar hacia dentro con valentia y, quizas, descubrir la belleza en el caos. Carolina Isasi (Telva)Un libro divertido, tierno, crudo, realista y revelador. La transicion que atraviesa la autora estadounidense la lleva de la incredulidad al enfado para llegar a una conclusion indiscutible: es necesario querernos mas para querer mejor.
