La nueva novela de Rodrigo Cort廥, uno de los escritores m嫳 libres y genuinos del panorama literario actual. «Rodrigo Cort廥 nos ha regalado una novela extraordinaria. La voz conmovedora, burlona y temible de su Hija del cielo me acompa鎙r?el resto de mis d燰s. --Enrique Murillo Gaba鏮 es un pueblo al borde de un cortado, frente al mar, pero tambi幯 un colegio, un orfelinato, un monasterio. All?conviven sesenta y un monjas atareadas y llenas de prop鏀ito. Y tres curas indolentes con el enjuto y vertical padre Al幯 al frente, con su voz de rallador de pan a un suspiro de la madre Adriana y sus enormes gafas. Y una ni鎙 acaso endemoniada en una habitaci鏮 sin ventanas. Y el Hombre Guapo dentro de ella. Y un enjambre de personajes extraviados para enturbiarlo todo.
Con tan improbables ingredientes, Rodrigo Cort廥 construye una novela deslumbrante. La historia de un lugar, de una ni鎙, de un amor, pero ante todo la historia de dos voces: la del narrador, precisa y tallada, y la de la propia ni鎙, de lengua dislocada y silvestre, tumultuosa, capaz de contar el espanto con naturalidad casi c鏔ica.
Po彋ica, b璗ida y salvaje,
Hija del cielo convierte un lugar remoto en un universo sin fondo, consagrando a Rodrigo Cort廥 como uno de los escritores m嫳 libres y genuinos del panorama literario actual.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The new novel by Rodrigo Cort廥, one of the most free-spirited and authentic writers on the current literary scene. "Rodrigo Cort廥 has given us an extraordinary novel. The moving, mocking, and fearsome voice of his Daughter of Heaven will stay with me for the rest of my days." --Enrique Murillo Gaba鏮 is a village on the edge of a cliff, facing the sea, but it is also a school, an orphanage, and a monastery. There, sixty-one busy, purpose-driven nuns live together. And three indolent priests, led by the gaunt, upright Father Al幯, with his voice like a bread grater, just a breath away from Mother Adriana and her enormous glasses. And a girl, perhaps possessed, in a windowless room. And the Handsome Man inside her. And a swarm of lost characters to throw everything into disarray.
With such improbable ingredients, Rodrigo Cort廥 crafts a dazzling novel. The story of a place, of a girl, of a love, but above all, the story of two voices: that of the narrator, precise and chiseled, and that of the girl herself, with her disjointed, wild, tumultuous speech, capable of recounting horror with an almost comical naturalness.
Poetic, dual-edged, and wild,
Daughter of Heaven transforms a remote place into a bottomless universe, establishing Rodrigo Cort廥 as one of the freest and most authentic writers on the current literary scene.
