Rompiendo las reglas no alude únicamente a la transgresión sexual. Las reglas que estos cuentos rompen son también las del género literario, las de la moral, las de la familia, las del amor romántico, las de la maternidad idealizada e incluso las de la realidad, cuando algunos relatos se internan en el horror, lo fantástico o la ciencia ficción. Esa amplitud convierte el título en una verdadera poética del libro.
También quiero destacar otro aspecto que me parece fundamental y que apenas se ha estudiado en la literatura cubana: el erotismo femenino contemporáneo no busca escandalizar. Busca complejizar. En estos relatos el deseo rara vez aparece aislado; está entrelazado con la violencia, la maternidad, la pérdida, el poder, la culpa, la espiritualidad, la memoria y la fantasía. Esa riqueza impide cualquier lectura reduccionista.
Este libro tiene una personalidad propia. No es frecuente encontrar una antología temática en la que las voces sean tan distintas y, sin embargo, el conjunto mantenga una identidad. El erotismo deja de organizarse alrededor de la mirada masculina. Aquí son las mujeres quienes narran, imaginan, recuerdan, transgreden y deciden. Esa diferencia cambia por completo la perspectiva del lector.
Sin té, ni limón. Aquella antología publicada hace más de 25 años en coautoría con Amir Valle. Ahora me sumo a este nuevo proyecto donde las féminas aún sin proponérselo eligen consiente o inconscientemente al erotismo como sustancia nutricional de sus historias y esto cada día se pone de manifiesto, si de literatura se trata, la preponderancia del sexo como ente que mueve casi todas las narrativas y no es casual, porque si estuviéramos aun en aquel paraíso idílico de Adán y Eva, el silencio y la apatía hubieran consumido al mundo.
Acá en esta selección de 20 cuentos, se hace evidente la pluralidad de voces, desde una Ana Luz García Calzada con sus cuentos chanchos, dama octogenaria que con más de treinta años en estos quehaceres de escribir, bien puede ser el timonel de este barco de sirenas que se niegan a atraer a los hombres escondidas desde una roca y han decidido tomar el barco y llevarlo a puerto seguro. Y el hombre, el pobre hombre no maldito por Dios, pero víctima de la serpiente cómo queda en estos cuentos, pues según la visión de cada escritora. Para Sarai Soler, una de las más jóvenes, es ya un recuerdo compartido al cuál ama pero debe abandonar por su precariedad para sostenerla emocional y carnal mente. Otras grandes narradoras contribuyen a la excelencia de la selección como Vivian Dulce Vila, Marvelys Marrero, Magaly Becerra Roche, Malena Salazar Maciá, Ana Lisandra López Méndez, María Salomé Pérez Conde, Keyla Del Valle Ramírez Araujo (Caracas), Gabriela Ladrón de Guevara de León (México) y Consuelo Viramontes ( México) .
En mi caso particular me alegra encontrar de nuevo en estas letras como viejas guerreras de aquel Té con Limón ya mencionado, a Lourdes de Armas y Maribel Feliú y las voces de otros países como México y Venezuela.
