6Una novela rompedora que disecciona el mito de la maternidad desde una nueva perspectiva y que enriquece el debate sobre la ambivalencia que genera esta experiencia en la identidad femenina contempor nea.

Prep rate para leer un libro como nunca has le do antes, que rompe las convenciones de lo narrativo y lo biogr fico, de los valores no s lo tradicionales, sino tambi n de los alternativos. Un libro de humor, de amor y de dolor, tan embriagante como un vino fuerte y tan tumultuoso como la vida. A decir verdad, no concibo que pueda haber alguien a quien no le guste. Rosa Montero

La protagonista de esta novela tiene treinta y cinco a os y es est ril cuando la Idea de ser madre se le mete en el cuerpo "como un c ncer". Cinco a os y dos hijas despu s cree haberlo ganado y perdido todo. Es entonces cuando decide escribir una historia a vida o muerte, un duelo entre la escritora que fue y la madre en que se ha convertido. Si gana la madre, el libro ser un diario sobre su maternidad y una parte de la escritora morir en el intento. Si gana la escritora, la ficci n le arrebatar su propia historia al elevar su maternidad a lo universal. En ese caso, ser la escritora quien fulmine a la madre.

El resultado es un relato apabullante y siempre ambivalente sobre una experiencia definitiva donde humor, amor y horror se convierten en hilos de la misma trenza. La protagonista examina el mito (pero tambi n el timo) de la maternidad, dialogando abiertamente con todas las voces del pasado que de una manera u otra han alimentado su condici n de mujer (y en consecuencia de madre): desde la legendaria hom nida Lucy, "madre de la humanidad" hasta la Cenicienta, pasando por Plat n, Teresa de Jes s, Darwin, Maupassant o Simone de Beauvoir.

En esta novela donde convergen la ficci n, la autobiograf a y el ensayo, la protagonista trata su propia y palpitante maternidad como un cad ver al que disecciona en directo ante el inevitable estupor del lector. Una invitaci n abierta a todos los hombres y mujeres que se atrevan a entrar en la mente y el cuerpo de una madre.

Hay muchas maneras de hablar de la maternidad, pero la de Nuria Labari es profundamente original y brillante. Esta novela es una explosi n, un viaje intelectual a trav s de los instintos m s primarios y del amor m s humano. Nuria Labari ha escrito un libro necesario sobre un tema universal. .-Lara Moreno

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A groundbreaking novel that dissects the myth of motherhood from a new perspective, and that enriches the debate about the ambivalence that this experience generates in contemporary feminine identity.

"Prepare yourself to read a book like no other you've read before, which breaks the conventions of storytelling and biographies, of values both traditional and alternative. A book of humor, of love, and of pain, as intoxicating as a strong wine and as tumultuous as life. To tell the truth, I can't imagine that anyone wouldn't like this book." --Rosa Montero

The protagonist of this novel is 35 years old and sterile when the idea of becoming a mother gets rooted in her body "like a cancer." Five years and two daughters later, she feels like she has won and lost everything. It is then that she decides to write a story of life and death, a duel between the writer she was and the mother she has become. If the mother wins, the book will be a diary about motherhood and a part of the writer will die in the process. If the writer wins, the fiction will take away her own story by elevating her motherhood as a universal experience. In that case, the writer conquers the mother.

The result is an overwhelming, ambivalent tale about a defining experience where humor, love, and horror are woven together. The protagonist examines the myth (and also the scam) of motherhood, in open dialogue with all the voices of the past that somehow or other have fed into her condition as a woman (and consequently, as a mother): from the legendary hominid Lucy, "mother of humanity," to Cinderella, and including Plato, Saint Teresa, Darwin, Maupassant, and Simone de Beauvoir.
