Product Description

Estamos ante una gran novela de la escritora colombiana que mas admira Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Novela de madurez, obra maestra, pero en un sentido muy distinto al que nos han acostumbrado la mayoria de los escritores latinoamericanos. Para empezar la anecdota: en una barriada miserable de Bigota ha aparecido un angel, la "dulce compaia" a la que aludian nuestras plegarias infantiles. Para reportear al extrano ser -o mas bien para atestiguar la patraa- es seleccionada Mona, la periodista que protagoniza y narra DULCE COMPAIA. Lo que sucede a partir de ese momento es una delirante y divertidisima sucesion de hechos: el angel s existe; un nuevo culto nace a raiz de su aparicion y crece a velocidad vertiginosa; la periodista pierde la distancia y se enamora del sujeto de su reportaje; el resultado de este enamoramiento es un fruto de su vientre; Galilea -asi se llama la barriada- vive un drama religioso que casi termina en crucificcion; la conmocion parece resolverse cuando el angel desaparece tan misteriosamente como habia aparecido; pero... asi, como ocurre tambien en sus anteriores novelas, Laura Restrepo da vida a una singular amalgama entre investigacion periodidtica y creacion narrativa. La miseria y la violencia que anidan en el corazon de la sociedad colombiana estan presentes de cuerpo entero, pero tambien lo estan la fascinacion por su cultura popular y el juego de su implacable humorismo, de una ironia a la vez acida y tierna que la mantiene a salvo de toda tentacion de patetismo o melodrama. Todo ello hace de DULCE COMPAIA irrefutablemente placentera. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars El mejor libro que he leído, May 17, 2004
By Claudia Adriazola (La Paz, Bolivia) - See all my reviews
Este libro me agarró como ningún otro. Me lo tuve que devorar, porque no podía dejarlo de lado. Lo disfruté, me reí... me apasionó.

Lo recomiendo mucho y sólo estoy esperando conseguir más libros de esta autora que tiene un manejo ríquiso del lenguaje.

Bellísimo!
