Product Details
Overview
Historias, recetas y cosos para orbitar la felicidad.
Hay un mundo donde una camiseta del Che y otra de Evita y otra de Ringo Starr debaten sobre el deseo y el disfrute, y un oficial principal retirado reflexiona sobre Jorge Luis Borges, y una politóloga ofrece una clase de relajación corporal con conciencia histórica, y hay un cuarto rey mago reconocido por un club llamado ¡Biblia Perón!, y un estudio revela cómo los cantos de la hinchada de El Porvenir, en el sur del conurbano, diferencian conceptos con la precisión de un cirujano. Es un mundo probablemente feliz. Y es el mundo de este texto.
Una cajita feliz que habla, y no trae hamburguesa, y tiene una capacidad de expresión aguda y elocuencia brillante es uno de los momentos claves de esta veintena de cuentos con la potente marca registrada del autor: la risa y las ideas, de la mano. El desfile de escenarios y personajes fuera de serie es incesante: de las habilidades de un personal trainer que enseña a soportar la felicidad de los demás a un parque de diversiones de suspensión de conciencia y una brigada de aviones que fumigan con culpa. El ritmo es veloz y encantador. Como siempre. Así es Una historia de la felicidad, el nuevo libro de Pedro Saborido.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Stories, recipes, and oddities to orbit happiness.
There is a world where a Che T-shirt, an Evita T-shirt, and a Ringo Starr T-shirt debate desire and enjoyment; where a retired chief officer reflects on Jorge Luis Borges; where a political scientist offers a relaxation class with historical awareness; where a fourth wise man is recognized by a club called “Biblia Perón”; and where a study reveals how the chants of El Porvenir’s fans in southern Buenos Aires distinguish concepts with surgical precision. It is a probably happy world. And it is the world of this book.
A talking Happy Meal box—without a hamburger—sharp in expression and brilliantly eloquent, is one of the key moments in this collection of twenty stories marked by the author’s trademark style: laughter and ideas, hand in hand. The parade of extraordinary settings and characters is relentless: from the skills of a personal trainer who teaches how to endure other people’s happiness, to an amusement park of suspended consciousness, and a squadron of planes spraying guilt. The pace is fast and delightful. As always. This is Una historia de la felicidad, the new book by Pedro Saborido.
