Overview
Vuelve Mar García Puig, el gran descubrimiento literario del 2023, con un ensayo sobre literatura, mujeres, metáforas y el poder que estas esconden.
Vivimos entre metáforas y somos poco conscientes del arma que tenemos entre manos. Porque la metáfora no sólo representa lo que ya es, sino lo que podemos concebir y como tal puede dar vida, pero también quitarla. Eso las mujeres, carne siempre de metáfora, lo sabemos bien. Frente a la tendencia actual a la literalidad y la pureza, éste es un alegato en favor de las tinieblas y el poder de sus metáforas, un manual para burlar a la vida a través del poder de la literatura.
-------
La colección Endebate es el hogar de aquellos textos breves que presentan una opinión, defienden una actitud o cuentan una historia, pero son más un aperitivo que un banquete, estimulan la conversación más que saciarla e inician un festín (que no clausuran). Como los mejores bocados, entran por los ojos y dejan un largo poso en el paladar.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Mar García Puig —the great literary discovery of 2023— returns with an essay about literature, women, metaphors, and the hidden power they contain.
We live surrounded by metaphors, barely aware of the weapon we hold in our hands. For a metaphor does not only represent what already is, but also what we can imagine—and as such, it can give life, but also take it away. Women, so often made the flesh of metaphor, know this all too well. Against today’s tendency toward literalness and purity, this work stands as a manifesto in defense of darkness and the power of its metaphors—a handbook for outwitting life through the transformative force of literature.
The Endebate collection is home to short texts that express an opinion, defend an attitude, or tell a story. They are more an appetizer than a feast—designed to spark conversation rather than satisfy it, to begin a banquet rather than conclude one. Like the finest bites, they are pleasing to the eye and leave a lasting aftertaste.
