Book Overview

Xavier Velasco, Premio Alfaguara 2003 con Diablo guardi?n, regresa a la literatura con la «aventura kamikaze de contar su infancia y no inventarla.

«El de la pintura es un ni?o desesperado. Necesita salvarse y no imagina de qu?. Quiere salir de ah?, no sabe c?mo.

Ser ni?o es entender que el que lleva al infierno es un camino corto. Se llega sin saber, se escapa sin pensar, se vuelve sin querer.

El ni?o de esta historia se resiste a contarla. Antes que darle un sitio en su memoria, preferir?a darle sepultura. Cuando menos lo espera, ya est? inmerso en un juego trepidante que le permite todo... menos dejar morir una historia. Se trata de salvarla, ?se es el juego.

No es que la infancia sea en s? dif?cil, sino que sus fantasmas resultan invencibles y sus muros -horror- inexpugnables. En un proceso inverso al exorcismo, el autor se transforma en personaje, el retrato en fantasma, la cicatriz en tinta: "Se escribe, igual que se ama o que se vive, porque no queda m?s alternativa, ni se ve escapatoria tolerable."

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This is the story of a boy who would prefer not to talk about his childhood.

Xavier Velasco, winner of the Premio Alfaguara 2003 with Diablo guardian, returns with this "kamikaze adventure" to recounting his childhood.

The one in the painting is a desperate boy. He needs to save himself and doesn't know of what. He wants to get out but doesn't know how." To be a kid is to understand that the road to hell is a short one. One arrives there without knowing, one escapes without thinking, one comes back without meaning to. It is not that childhood is hard, but rather that childhood phantoms are invincible. The boy of this story refuses to tell it. He allows himself everything... except to let the story die.
