Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Premio Euskadi de Literatura en castellano.Finalista del Man Booker International Prize.Una novela autobiografica en la que la autora trata de comprender su relacion con la muerte y la familia a traves del analisis de dos sucesos: el asesinato de su abuelo a manos de ETA y el fallecimiento de su madre.Una novela cuya atmosfera nos proporciona un alivio semejante al que siente un pez devuelto al agua despues de haber sido capturado. [.] Leyendola se asiste una vez mas a ese misterio por el que la vida de otro, que poco o nada tiene que ver con la tuya, deviene en una cuestion de orden personal. Como si mas que una novela, se tratara de una carta dirigida a ti. Juan Jose Millas La muerte es un acontecimiento de primer orden. Cuando la parca se lleva a un ser querido heredamos lo que quedo sin resolver, y el dolor, o la liberacion, que acarrea el deceso se extiende en el tiempo hasta que el vivo asume no solo la desaparicion del otro, sino tambien parte de la suya propia en la medida en que estamos hechos de retazos de los demas.En esta novela autobiografica Gabriela Ybarra trata de comprender su relacion con la muerte y la familia a traves del analisis de dos sucesos: el asesinato de su abuelo en 1977 a manos de ETA y el fallecimiento de su madre en 2011 por un cancer. Asi, la primera parte de El comensal es una reconstruccion libre (por tanto, no esconde la parte de ficcion de toda memoria) del secuestro y posterior asesinato del empresario espanol Javier de Ybarra, quien tambien fue alcalde de Bilbao y presidente de la Diputacion de Vizcaya durante el regimen franquista. Aunque esta muerte ha sacudido a todo el clan familiar (los padres de la protagonista tienen que abandonar el Pais Vasco y convivir con un escolta), no es hasta que la madre de la narradora enferma fatalmente que los duelos no hechos y las herencias politicas no asumidas (a veces por ignorancia) estallan.El comensal es una novela importante por dos cosas: la narracion de un conflicto historico desde un lugar personal procurando la huida del victimismo y el reconocimiento de la importancia que tiene el hacer visible la muerte para asumirla. Acostumbrados como estamos a que los procesos de deterioro y fin de la vida se escondan, la novela sorprendera por lo que tiene de reconciliacion con la enfermedad, que aqui es relatada con luminosidad y sin puritanismo ni autocompasion.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONLonglisted for the 2018 Man Booker International Prize"A seamless blend of art, politics, and private life."NPRThe Dinner Guest is Gabriela Ybarras prizewinning literary debut: a singular autobiographical novel piecing together the kidnap and murder of her grandfather by terrorists, reflecting on the personal impact of private pain and public tragedy.The story goes that in my family theres an extra dinner guest at every meal. Hes invisible, but always there. He has a plate, glass, knife and fork. Every so often he appears, casts his shadow over the table, and erases one of those present.The first to vanish was my grandfather.In 1977, three terrorists broke into Gabriela Ybarras grandfathers home, and pointed a gun at him in the shower. This was the last time his family saw him alive, and his kidnapping played out in the press, culminating in his murder. Ybarra first heard the story when she was eight, but it was only after her mothers death, years later, that she felt the need to go deeper and discover more about her familys past.The Dinner Guest is a novel with the feel of documentary non-fiction. It connects two life-changing eventsthe very public d Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9788439739203
