About
"Cuando la vida se va, es preciso ilevar a cabo un ajuste de cuentas con ella, un recuento en el que antipatías y resentimientos se diluyan en el espíritu, en la mente, para sólo dar cabida a afectos y nostalgias. Es tal vez la mejor manera de emprender el tránsito entre este mundo y lo desconocido. Y si quien se halla a punto de morir conserva los recuerdos intactos, la lucidez y la calma, la víspera de la muerte puede representar un estadio entrañable, gozoso, casi feliz. En sus últimas horas de vida, Patricia sostiene un largo monólogo en entrevista con una amiga reportera, quien registra cada una de sus palabras que, si bien expresadas de modo entrecortado -tal como irrumpen en la caja de resonancia de la memoria-, tejen poco a poco la trama completa de su existencia. En un discurso en apariencia laberíntico, constantemente disruptivo, que plasma lo que podría denominarse la voz de la agonía, van apareciendo en estas páginas extrañamente alegres los padres, los hermanos, los amigos, cuñados, hijos y sobrinos de la narradora, los instantes luminiosos de su juventud, sus éxitos profesionales, tareas inacabadas, pérdidas y recuperaciones, explosiones de gozo, dramas y tragedias, mientras el lector anuda frases incompletas, traza senderos entre fragmentos de recuerdos, se orienta entre estos "merodeos de la memoria", hasta configurar la historia de una vida plena, rica en experiencias y afectos, llena de ternura. Patricias se despide, así, de todos aquellos a quienes amó, de quienes se le adelantaron en el camino y de los que la sobreviven, para concluir que está en paz con la existencia y con la muerte. Con Días de tu vida, Bárbara Jacobs no sólo realiza un entrañable homenaje póstumo a la protagonista y narradora de su relato, sino que consigue atrapar, como nadie más lo ha hecho, la respiración, el tono y el ritmo de esa voz de la agonía en un lenguaje narrativo inédito."--Page 4 of cover.
"When life is gone, it is necessary to carry out a reckoning with it, a recount in which antipathies and resentments are diluted in the spirit, in the mind, to only make room for affections and nostalgia. It is perhaps the The best way to undertake the transition between this world and the unknown. And if those who are about to die keep their memories intact, lucid and calm, the eve of death can represent an endearing, joyous, almost happy stage. In the last hours of her life, Patricia holds a long monologue in an interview with a reporter friend, who records each of her words that, although expressed in a choppy way - just as they burst into the resonance box of memory - weave little by little. little is the complete plot of their existence. In an apparently labyrinthine, constantly disruptive speech that expresses what could be called the voice of agony, parents, siblings s, the friends, brothers-in-law, children and nephews of the narrator, the luminous moments of her youth, her professional successes, unfinished tasks, losses and recoveries, explosions of joy, dramas and tragedies, while the reader knots incomplete sentences, traces paths between Fragments of memories, he orients himself between these "wanderings of memory", until he configures the story of a full life, rich in experiences and affections, full of tenderness. She patricias says goodbye, thus, to all those whom she loved, to those who were ahead of her on the way and to those who survive her, to conclude that she is at peace with existence and with death. With Days of your life, Bárbara Jacobs not only pays an endearing posthumous tribute to the protagonist and narrator of her story, but also manages to catch, as no one else has, the breath, tone and rhythm of that voice of agony in an unpublished narrative language.
