description
iano Monge pudo escribir esta novela excepcional. Si ya antes se colocó a la cabeza de la narrativa contemporánea, con Los vivos logra una ruptura radical en el modo de escribir sobre nuestro turbulento presente. --Fernanda Melchor

México? Podría ser. Pero también podría ser su revés. Así como el tiempo podría ser éste o cualquiera y los personajes quienes son, además de quienes fueron y serán. En estas páginas, llenas de asombro y belleza, pérdidas y hallazgos, la realidad es un eterno deshacerse y rehacerse. Vestigia, cuyo pasado parece impenetrable, necesita recordar para entender su dolor; Hincapié desea cambiar su relación con los otros, pues no tolera vivir con el temor a que dejen de estar; el Niño, que irrumpe como relámpago, quiere dotar de sentido a las palabras y a las cosas, asomándose al silencio y al vacío, y Lucía, que persigue la lengua de los muertos, busca desentrañar qué hay tras la presencia y la ausencia. En Los vivos, novela sobre la desaparición y la aparición, tanto de seres como de cosas, parición Emiliano Monge vuelve a descifrar un territorio de contradicciones, haciéndonos ver lo que no sabíamos ver, mientras oculta aquello que creíamos que estaba ahí. Una novela única, para leer y releer.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Only a writer like Emiliano Monge could have written this exceptional novel. He was already at the forefront of contemporary narrative, and with The Living he manages to make a radical rupture in the way we write about our turbulent present." --Fernanda Melchor

Mexico? It could be. But it could also be its reverse. Just as this could be the time, or any other, and the characters who they are, apart from who they were and who they will be. In these pages, filled with wonder and beauty, losses and findings, reality is an eternal doing and undoing. Vestige, whose past seems impenetrable, needs to remember in order to understand her pain; Emphasis wishes to change his relationship with others, but still cannot tolerate living in fear of them not being there; the Boy, who strikes like lightning, wants to make sense of words and things, gazing into silence and emptiness, and Lucia, chasing the tongue of the dead, wishes to unravel what lies behind presence and absence. In The Living, a novel about disappearing and appearing, as much about beings as about things, Emiliano Monge deciphers yet again a land of contradictions, making us see what we didn't know how to see, while he conceals that which we thought was there. A unique novel to read and re-read.
