Description
"De vuelta al territorio autobiográfico, Emiliano Monge ha conseguido en esta nueva novela algo que parecía imposible: una novela que es un retrato a la vez que un mural; el retrato de una madre y el mural del mundo en que vivimos. Esta es la historia de una mujer que se enfrentó a su tiempo y a su mundo, pero es también la historia de ese tiempo y de ese mundo: la segunda mitad del siglo XX y las primeras décadas del siglo en el que estamos. En Justo antes del final, la vida de la protagonista, una vida marcada por la invisibilidad, la enfermedad, la locura y las violencias, pero también por la resiliencia, la voluntad, los afectos y el cuidado de sí y de los otros, entra en tensión con algunos de los grandes acontecimientos de la vida pública: la llegada de la píldora anticonceptiva, la invención de la cámara instantánea, el desarrollo de tratamientos para las enfermedades mentales, la carrera espacial y la carrera por la prótesis auditiva perfecta, el descubrimiento de la antimateria, el diagnóstico del espectro Asperger, las investigaciones para alargar la vida, el protocolo de Kioto..."--Publisher's webite.
Description
"Back to autobiographical territory, Emiliano Monge has achieved in this new novel something that seemed impossible: a novel that is a portrait as well as a mural; the portrait of a mother and the mural of the world in which we live. This is the the story of a woman who faced her time and her world, but it is also the story of that time and that world: the second half of the 20th century and the first decades of the century we are in. In Just Before the End, the life of the protagonist, a life marked by invisibility, illness, madness and violence, but also by resilience, will, affection and care for oneself and others, enters into tension with some of the great events in public life: the advent of the birth control pill, the invention of the instant camera, the development of treatments for mental illness, the space race and the race for the perfect hearing aid, the discovery of antimatter, the diagnosis of the Asperger spectrum, research to extend life, the Kyoto protocol..."--Publisher's webite.
