Relato del viaje que Rimsky hizo a la revoluci鏮 nicaragnse en los a隳s ochenta, cuando apenas ten燰 veinte a隳s. Escrito reflexivamente desde el presente, el breve, pero contundente texto de este libro est?intercalado por los diarios (y fotos) que Cynthia Rimsky hizo durante su traves燰. Se trat?de un viaje tard甐 y decepcionante a la Revoluci鏮. Ya entonces la autora supo dar cuenta de su desconcierto y distancia cr癃ica con lo que ve燰 y o燰, pero luego, al retomar esos textos y comentarlos d嶰adas despu廥, lo que tenemos es ya pura lucidez, humor negro, mirada cr癃ica aguda; una inteligencia y comprensi鏮 cabal de lo humano, todo manifestado a trav廥 de una sagacidad narrativa ica. Un texto vibrante, la mirada de una chilena incomparable y una realidad remota y turbulenta: la nicaragnse.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An account of Rimsky's trip to the Nicaraguan revolution in the eighties, when she was barely twenty years old. Reflectively written from the present, the short but forceful text of this book is interspersed with the diaries (and photos) that Cynthia Rimsky made during her journey. It was a belated and disappointing trip to the Revolution. Back then the author already knew how to account for her bewilderment and critical distance from what she saw and heard, but later, when going back to those texts and commenting on them decades later, what we have is pure lucidity, black humor, a sharp critical gaze; an intelligence and complete understanding of the human experience, all manifested through a unique narrative sagacity. A vibrant text, the gaze of an incomparable Chilean and a remote and turbulent reality: the Nicaraguan.
