Cuando la autora se enfrent� al diagn�stico m�s temido (�seis letras canallas y un acento�) sinti� miedo y rabia, pero tambi�n una inspiraci�n irreductible.

Este libro ―a veces l�rico, a veces desgarrador, siempre emocionante― es el fruto de un proceso en el que Isabel Ordaz recurri� a la literatura y a la poes�a en un ejercicio creativo para ella y terap�utico para cualquier lector que necesite una voz que le acompa�e y aporte esperanza.

Ahora, nos invita a recorrer con ella este personal�simo viaje alrededor del c�ncer. Estas p�ginas hablan de dolor, pero tambi�n de luz, memoria y afectos. Escrita desde las entra�as, esta obra aut�ntica y reconfortante es una oda a la vida y a la literatura.

�No hablo de mi c�ncer, hablo de la escritura que te ayuda a vivir en ese momento. La literatura, el arte y la creaci�n pueden ayudar�.

Rese�as:
�La acci�n de escribir me es m�s necesaria que la acci�n de comer. Comer es triste, la palabra se ha vuelto mi alimento. Escribir palabras que hablan de c�ncer para que no me coma. Soy el lenguaje del c�ncer�.
Isabel Ordaz

�La autora ha diseccionado su experiencia f�sica y emocional con el c�ncer. El resultado es una obra valiente, l�cida y sincera. Sin sentimentalismos, pero con grandes dosis de ternura y lirismo. La vida en otra parte nos ense�a que la escritura es b�lsamo y herida, testimonio y secreto, autoconocimiento y revelaci�n�.
Rafael Narbona, autor del best seller Maestros de la felicidad

�En este bell�simo diario de un itinerario a trav�s de ese otro lado de la vida, Isabel retoma el discurso valiente de los que saben, por experiencia, que amanecer es posible y se atreve a hacer una disecci�n emocionante y provocadora de lo cl�nico donde se entremezclan el teatro, la poes�a, la filosof�a y el humor�.
Olga Amar�s Duarte, autora de Una po�tica del exilio
