Short stories

DE CUERPO ENTERO

"El olvido está lleno de memoria", dice Mario Benedetti y así lo confirman los trece relatos que integran este libro marcado por el exilio. Los cuentos son una apuesta en favor de la memoria, un desafío al olvido que nunca es tal.


"Tengo una mente y un cuerpo entero con los cuales recordar", proclama Laura, mientras se prepara para el reencuentro con esa amiga que no ve hace 20 años y con la cual sigue compartiendo la vocación por la risa y las ganas inmensas de vivir, a pesar de todo.


Personajes esencialmente femeninos animas las historias de esta colección personal, donde no están ausentes la ternura, el amor, las esperanzas, los sueños y la pena de perderlos. Como le ocurrió a la protagonista de "Adiós Piazzolla", que lloró la muerte del músico pero, sobre todo, lloró por las dos veces que no consiguió verlo.


Escritos durante varios años, los relatos incluidos en De cuerpo entero reflejan a una autora madura, capaz de asumir la memoria como punto de partida de una nueva andadura, donde todo adquiere un nuevo sentido.

Editorial Los Andes, Santiago, 1997. Mención del Premio Municipal de Literatura, Santiago, 1998.  .

AND A BODY TO REMEMBER WITH

In these resonant, deeply moving stories, Carmen Rodríguez explores place, language, and the intricacies of human experience, based on her life as a political exile in Canada, having escaped Chile after the military coup of 1973.


As a storyteller, Rodríguez maps the emotional terrain of dual geographies – caught between them, her protagonists seek redemption in the simple truths of love and dignity, whether amid the political turmoil of Chile, or the complexities of their new life in Canada. 


Arsenal Pulp Press, Vancouver, 1997.
