Book Description

843396836X 978-8433968364 July 15, 2002 Primera
El corazon, dice Pascal, tiene razones que la razon desconoce. Este conocido aforismo del filosofo frances medula la novela de Margo Glantz: Nora Garcia, la protagonista, esta de regreso en su pueblo para asistir al velorio de su ex marido, musico como ella, quien acaba de morir de un infarto de miocardio. En esta novela, el corazon es el verdadero centro del relato y de la vida. Y la variacion es la clave de la organización narrativa. Se parte del material mas trillado para realzar el arte de la combinacion, la transfiguracion, el uso sistematico de un canon y la edificacion de una amplia estructura a partir de una obsesion monocorde. Numerosas intercalaciones y digresiones funcionan a la manera de las variaciones Goldberg de Juan Sebastian Bach, en especial la interpretacion caprichosa que hiciera de ellas Glenn Gould. La vida, dice el tango, es una herida absurda. Nora Garcia la va viviendo como un derrumbe, una pulverizacion, aunque tambien como la posibilidad de empezar de nuevo, en esta excelente novela de la prestigiosa escritora mexicana Margo Glantz.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ms., July 6, 2008
This review is from: El rastro (Narrativas Hispanicas) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
When I started reading this book, it reminded me of other books I read before. It is not original, and it is kind of boring. I just didn't like and I didn't finish it!
