Paperback. Una joven prostituta recorre una ciudad nocturna de limites imprecisos, quiza Tel Aviv. Se hace llamar Libby, corazon mio en hebreo. La miran tanto los hombres como las mujeres: No soy guapa, se acostaban conmigo, repite como en un salmo o una confesion, pero no se deja atrapar por las miradas ni por las palabras. Sube y baja de coches con choferes laconicos y comparte momentos de humor y sororidad con otras trabajadoras sexuales. Su vida es como un sueno que le sucede a otra persona, una suma de violencias y una forma de libertad en la que no se puede ser libre. El debut narrativo de la israeli Maayan Eitan, que causo un enorme revuelo al publicarse en su pais, ha sido saludado como una singularisima obra maestra. En breves y alucina-dos capitulos de alto voltaje literario, Amor narra a la vez la verdad y la mentira, aquello que sucede y aquello que deberia suceder. Combina el aliento lirico de un Cantar de los cantares con la inversion moral (la contemporaneidad) de Jean Genet, Thomas Bernhard o la serie Euphoria, y se hace inolvidable gracias a su protagonista, la turbadora Libby, descarnada y huidiza bajo la atencion paralizadora del deseo masculino.Un libro intenso que, entre sus virtudes, esta el manejo de una prosa con ritmo que combina cierto lirismo con la crudeza. (?) Entre tanta sordidez contada con una prosa de ritmo casi poetico, se cuela la cotidianidad de las relaciones humanas. (?) Una novela energica que a la vez despierta cierta ternura pero sin buscar compasion y te deja sin aliento. Todo esta difuso, entre la alucinacion y una denuncia de la cosificacion del cuerpo de las mujeres. Aloma Rodriguez, Radio 3Este libro movedizo y sugestivo no regala un mapa para moverse por sus paginas (?). He leido Amor como un texto ardiente y sincero, amparado tras una estructura sinuosa, que busca responder a una pregunta que tantas mujeres se siguen haciendo hoy dia: donde reside la libertad en un mundo dominado por los hombres, cimentado en sus pasiones, organizado en torno a su concepto de propiedad. (?) El relato esquivo, por momentos esquizoide, siempre abrasador, de una mujer que se pregunta cual es el precio que debe pagar para ser libre. Ricardo Menendez Salmon, AbrilEl lector queda deslumbrado por la belleza descarnada del lenguaje de la narradora y por los duros testimonios que nos ofrece. (?) Libby no solo logra atraer a sus clientes con su cuerpo (?) tambien seduce a los lectores con sus palabras y su relato. Lluis Verges, Menorca.infoUn rompecabezas que puede transformar Amor, volumen tan delgado como su protagonista y tan afilado como su cuchillo, en un huesecillo atravesado en la garganta de algunos lectores y que, en todo caso, exige una lectura muy atenta. Mejor incluso dos. Eugenio Fuentes, El CuadernoTratar de calzarle un corse logico a un orbe simbolico es mala estrategia lectora. Lo haria con La tierra baldia? Pues aqui lo mismo. Encadene imagenes, centrifuguelas, deje que se sedimenten y no olvide lo putas que son las palabras. Hagalo cuantas veces sea preciso y, antes o despues, se llenara de sensaciones y sentimientos. Y si algun dia se encontrase ante un ordenador escribiendo lineas como estas, tal vez se le ocurriese deslizar algunas sospechas: que Libby son todas las mujeres, cobren o no; que todos los hombres de Amor, paguen o no, componen una unica figura dominadora y patriarcal; que para Maayan Eitan amor, violencia sexual y prostitucion son inseparables. Y, en fin, que leido lo escrito queda claro como la autora juzga imposible que la mujer se libere de sus cadenas mientras perviva un orden patriarcal que grabara a fuego en la cabeza de Libby dos pensamientos en apariencia incasables: No soy guapa y los hombres me miraban. Hasta que sea ella quien los mire. Eugenio Fuentes, El CuadernoUna novel Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
