Morir es tan dif?cil como inevitable. Tambi?n para los que sobreviven.
El primer d?a que tuve que limpiarle el culo a mi padre, me ment? dici?ndome que era igual que cuando se lo limpiaba a mi hijo: venga, Carmen, que es lo mismo; va, Carmen, que es tu padre; venga, mujer, que ese hombre te limpi? el culo a ti.
Me lo repet?a como quien est? a punto de correr para darse impulso y saltar.
Es lo mismo, Carmen. Hazlo ya.
Pero no. No es lo mismo.
Si Pedro Sim?n fuera un panadero, dir?amos que la masa madre de sus novelas son las relaciones familiares. Un ingrediente aparentemente sencillo y abundante pero absolutamente fundamental en la historia de la literatura.
Tras ganar el Premio Primavera de Novela con Los ingratos, una historia que ha conmovido a decenas de miles de lectores, volvi? a apuntar al coraz?n con Los incomprendidos. Sin que se nos haya aflojado el nudo en la garganta, el autor nos ofrece ahora su novela m?s dif?cil pero tambi?n m?s universal: c?mo se enfrentan los miembros de una familia a la inevitable decadencia y muerte de sus mayores?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Dying is as hard as it is inevitable. Even for the ones who stay behind.
The first time I had to wipe my dad’s butt, I told myself it was just like when I did it for my son: come on, Carmen, it’s the same; you’ve got this, Carmen, he’s your dad; c’mon, girl, that man used to clean your butt too.
I kept saying it to myself like someone psyching up for a sprint to launch into a jump.
It’s the same, Carmen. Just do it.
But it’s not. It’s not the same.
If Pedro Sim?n were a baker, we’d say the sourdough starter of his novels is family relationships. A seemingly simple and abundant ingredient, but absolutely essential in the history of literature.
After winning the Primavera Novel Prize with Los ingratos, a story that moved tens of thousands of readers, he went straight for the heart again with Los incomprendidos. And before we’ve even had a chance to catch our breath, he hits us with his toughest–and most universal–novel yet: how do the members of a family face the inevitable decline and death of their elders?
