Cuerpo Vítreo - Paperback

by Aurora Freijo Corbeira (Author)

Words become foreign to a woman with a serious eye disease as she tries to piece together the story of her frail body. That threatened body awakens the memory of her dead mother and the wasted years with an inconsistent lover. Why narrate? How not to tremble But despite the vertigo due to helplessness and loneliness, the hope of a future life survives. This book is a narrative mosaic plotted with a brief style and with the author's characteristic harsh lyricism. In this second novel, Aurora Freijo Corbeira once again makes the unbearable poetic: the devastation lived and imagined, thought and written. Vitreous Body is an unusual exercise in observing the personal and the unfathomable, a work about pain and lucidity that at the same time reminds us that we can resist a little longer. At least one more breath.
