«Con su escritura íntima, de una belleza desgarradora, Karina Sosa nos ofrece un testimonio a la vez doloroso y privilegiado de uno de los movimientos sociales que han delineado el rostro del México contemporáneo.» -Fernanda Melchor
Una hija descubre la grieta en su familia: sus padres están separados y la casa en la que crecen ella y sus hermanos se va poblando de recuerdos. En junio de 2006, el padre de Karina —la protagonista de esta historia— encabeza una lucha popular para que el gobierno de Oaxaca caiga y se haga justicia. Una lucha que trae consigo el estigma de la cárcel. Una lucha que deja una ciudad en llamas. A la par de lidiar con el abandono paterno y la persecución social, Karina intenta descubrir quién ha sido y quién es ahora como mujer. Traspasa las barricadas de la memoria para llegar a su pasado, a esa infancia inestable y dolorosa: la zona oscura de la que emerge la alargada sombra de un padre totémico.
En esta, su segunda novela, Karina Sosa amplifica su talento estilístico y nos regala una historia profunda, nostálgica, herida. Un libro donde somete —con valentía— palabras como amor y libertad.
Orfandad
nos cuestiona: ¿Se puede escarbar hondo y salir ileso? Y nos responde: De ninguna manera.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“With her intimate narrative of breathtaking beauty, Karina Sosa delivers a painful and all the while privileged testimony of one of the social movements that outlined the face of contemporary Mexico.” —Fernanda Melchor
A daughter finds a rift in her family: her parents are separated and the house where she and her siblings are growing up is becoming increasingly populated by memories. In June 2006, the father of Karina—the protagonist of this story—leads a social struggle to topple Oaxaca’s government and seek justice. A battle that brings along the stigma of prison. A fight that leaves the city burning. While dealing with her father’s abandonment and social persecution, Karina tries to figure out who she has been and who she is now as a woman. She pushes the roadblocks in her memory to reach the past, her unstable and sorrowful childhood: the dark zone from which the long shadow of a totemic father emerges.
In this, her second novel, Karina Sosa amplifies her stylistic talent and gives us a deep, nostalgic, hurt story. A book where she courageously subdues words such as love and freedom.
Orphaned
asks: Can you dig deep and come out unharmed? And it answers: No way.
