Item description from seller
«Lo cierto es que nunca he podido narrar ?ni opinar? desde un lugar discreto, nunca he podido hacerme invisible, y para ser sincera tampoco lo he intentado. Amo la realidad que desenmascaramos en cada uno de nuestros actos. Amo la voluntad de asombro. Creo que lo más honesto que puedo hacer literariamente es contar las cosas como las veo, sin artificios, sin disfraces, sin filtros, sin mentiras, con mis prejuicios, obsesiones y complejos, con las verdades en minúscula y por lo general sospechosas. Hacerlo de otra manera seria presuntuoso por mi parte. Estaría engañándome y engañándolos». 340 gr.

«Un libro insolente y pertido, a la vez periodístico y lírico, a veces tristísimo, otras veces delirante y siempre inolvidable». --Alejandro Zambra
«Lo cierto es que nunca he podido narrar -ni opinar- desde un lugar discreto, nunca he podido hacerme invisible, y para ser sincera tampoco lo he intentado. Amo la realidad que desenmascaramos en cada uno de nuestros actos. Amo la voluntad de asombro.
Creo que lo más honesto que puedo hacer literariamente es contar las cosas como las veo, sin artificios, sin disfraces, sin filtros, sin mentiras, con mis prejuicios, obsesiones y complejos, con las verdades en minúscula y por lo general sospechosas. Hacerlo de otra manera seria presuntuoso por mi parte. Estaría engañándome y engañándolos».
Gabriela Wiener reúne en Llamada perdida una selección de sus textos autobiográficos más destacados: ensayos, relatos breves, viñetas, observaciones y reflexiones que emergen de experiencias cotidianas tan singulares como la maternidad, la migración, el miedo a la muerte, la soledad en habitaciones de hotel o los ménage à trois.
Esta edición revisada y ampliada, publicada en el décimo aniversario de su lanzamiento original, reafirma el impacto y la relevancia de una de las voces más originales y transgresoras de la literatura actual.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Gabriela Weiner's most personal essays. Chronicler of herself, she returns with a new edition to celebrate her tenth anniversary.
"The truth is I have never been able to write--nor speak my mind--from a discreet stance. I have never been able to make myself invisible, and to be honest, I haven't tried either. I love the reality we unmask in every one of our actions. I love the will to be amazed.
I think the most honest literary thing I can do is tell things as I see them, no artifice, no disguise, no filter, no lies, with my prejudices, obsessions, and complexes, with truths in lower case and generally suspicious. Doing it any other way would be disrespectful on my part. I would be deceiving me and deceiving you."
In Missed Call, Gabriela Wiener compiles a selection of her most outstanding autobiographical texts: essays, short stories, vignettes, observations, and reflections that emerge from everyday experiences as singular as maternity, migration, the fear of death, feeling lonely in hotel rooms, or ménages à trois.
This revised and extended edition, published on the tenth anniversary of its original launch, reaffirms the impact and relevance of one of the most original and transgressive voices in literature today.
