Memoir by Núria Amat, Spanish writer.
Summary:
Excepcional documento de este tiempo en el que confluyen la escritora, la mujer y la pensadora. Nuria Amat ofrece una osada confesión que cubre todos los periodos de su vida, desde un entorno familiar de relevancia en la vida cultural del país hasta el presente, y ha convertido sus recuerdos en un libro inquietante, emotivo, mordaz y divertido. En muchos aspectos, Amat se adelantó a su propia época desde la juventud, y así sigue siendo hasta hoy. Comprometida con su tiempo, ha sido más que testigo de los acontecimientos que le ha tocado vivir, desde su infancia en tiempos de la dictadura de Franco, hasta la convulsa historia reciente de Cataluña. De ahí que estas memorias puedan leerse también como la crónica de una generación que, guiada por más altos imperativos morales, cambió para siempre España y su literatura. Asimismo, honra a sus antepasados al haber establecido un puente entre las literaturas española e hispanoamericana y sus protagonistas, a los que se reserva un lugar destacado. Todas estas historias personales y colectivas de una novelista, articulista y también activista política acaban dando forma a un caleidoscopio tan rico en anécdotas como en el análisis de las pequeñas miserias de los hombres, las dolorosas rivalidades de las mujeres, las traiciones de los amigos. Y en el que sobresale siempre el firme empeño de la escritora para mantenerse fiel a su personalidad y conducir su vida por los cauces de su propia voluntad.-- Publisher's website.
Exceptional document of this time in which the writer, the woman and the thinker converge. Nuria Amat offers a daring confession that covers all the periods of her life, from a family environment of relevance in the cultural life of the country to the present, and has turned her memories into a disturbing, emotional, scathing and funny book. In many ways, Amat was ahead of his own time from his youth, and remains so to this day. Committed to her time, she has been more than a witness to the events she has had to live through, from her childhood in times of Franco's dictatorship, to the convulsive recent history of Catalonia. Hence, these memoirs can also be read as the chronicle of a generation that, guided by higher moral imperatives, forever changed Spain and its literature. Likewise, it honors its ancestors by having established a bridge between Spanish and Latin American literature and its protagonists, to whom a prominent place is reserved. All these personal and collective stories of a novelist, columnist and also a political activist end up shaping a kaleidoscope as rich in anecdotes as it is in the analysis of the small miseries of men, the painful rivalries of women, the betrayals of friends. And in which the firm commitment of the writer to remain faithful to her personality and lead her life through the channels of her own will always stands out.-- Publisher's website.
