description
8El corazón del daño, este dispositivo literario abierto y complejo, recupera el diccionario doméstico de injurias y amenazas, donde las palabras proyectan desde la lejana casa familiar su poder de presagio y convierten el sueño en pesadilla.

La obra de María Negroni huye de cualquier taxonomía. Su referencia más clara podría ser Anne Carson. Como ella, Negroni despliega una narrativa extremadamente lírica, a la vez seca, precisa y voluptuosa.

En El corazón del daño, combina la biografía, la nota íntima, la observación afilada y sagaz, la crónica política, el léxico familiar y la canción de la desesperada. Todos los recursos para contar una vida y despedir a una madre también desesperante, también desesperada. Pero en la recuperación que es todo duelo, hay una intención novedosa: la de compartir esas experiencias y las asociaciones literarias. "Una mujer difícil y hermosa ocupa el centro y la circunferencia de esa casa. Tiene los ojos grandes, los labios pintados de rojo. Se llama Isabel."

Los recuerdos de esa madre que lo ocupa todo surgen nítidos, pero para pensarlos y transmitirlos -darle la piel de las palabras- la memoria es como un objeto que hay que girar. De cada cara del prisma, un rayo de luz se descompone. O es que son una esfera? La autora va a aplastar ese material, maleable e inasible, para que quepa entre las tapas de este libro.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Heart of Harm, this literary devise, open and complex, restores the domestic dictionary of insults and threats, where words project their power of foreshadowing from the distant family home and turn dreams into nightmares.

María Negroni's work shuns away from all taxonomies. Her most obvious reference might be Anne Carson.

In The Heart of Harm, Negroni blends biography, intimate entries, sharp and keen observation, political chronicle, family lexicon, and the song of the desperate. All the necessary resources to tell a life and bid farewell to a mother both exasperating and desperate. But in her recovery, which is nothing but grief, there's a new intention: sharing these experiences and literary associations. "A difficult and beautiful woman is at the heart and the circumference of that house. She has big eyes, lips painted red. Her name is Isabel."

Memories of that mother that takes up everything surge crystal-clear, but in order to think about them and convey them--to give her flesh from words--memory becomes an object you must rotate. From each face of the prism, a ray of light dissolves. Or is it that memory is actually a sphere? The author is going to crush that malleable and elusive matter to make it fit the covers of this book.
