Overview
En su primera obra de no ficción, Laia Jufresa, una de las mejores escritoras mexicanas, retrata con ingenio y mucho humor las pequeñas cosas que nos incumben, obsesionan, angustian y que, pese a todo, nos impulsan a seguir habitando, y rescribiendo, este presente enrarecido.
«¿Un libro pandémico? Sí y no. Un libro -con pandemia de fondo- sobre la manera en la que nos contamos: lenguaje y pantallas, escritura y maternidad, las nuevas vidas nuevas. Lleno de humor y asombro, bellísimo». - Elena Medel
¿Cuánta gente cabe en un departamento cuando sus tres habitantes están confinados?
¿Cuántos idiomas si uno de ellos apenas está aprendiendo a hablar?
¿Cuántos personajes si uno de los tres es novelista?
Veinte, veintiuno narra cinco estaciones en la vida de una pequeña familia bilingüe adaptándose a la «normal nuevidad», y retrata el peculiar lenguaje que construyen juntos y encerrados: un idioma destinado a desaparecer.
Una y otra vez, este libro nos recuerda que, bien mirado, lo cotidiano es extraordinario.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In her first non-fiction work, Laia Jufresa, one of the best Mexican writers, portrays through her peculiar wit and humor the small things that concern, obsess, distress, and nevertheless push us to keep living and rewriting this rarefied present.
“A pandemic book? Yes and no. A book—with the pandemic as background—about the way we narrate ourselves: language and screens, writing and motherhood, the new new lives. Full of humor and wonder; so beautiful.” —Elena Medel
How many people fit in an apartment when its three residents are confined?
How many languages if one of them is just learning to speak?
How many characters if one of them is a novelist?
Twenty, Twenty-one chronicles five seasons in the life of a small bilingual family adapting to a “normal newlifelihood,” and depicts the peculiar language they create together, locked down: a language destined to disappear.
Over and over again, this book reminds us that, when you look at it properly, the mundane is indeed extraordinary.
