Synopsis
This overwhelming novel, which enshrines Rita Indiana as narrator, contains many layers and fascinating twists. The story begins in the apartment of saint and advisor to the Dominican President, Esther Escudero, better known as Omicunlé. His young maid, Alcide Figueroa, whom Esther helped leave a life of prostitution, is about to become plagued by the past, present and future. Including deities that inhabit the Caribbean Sea, political interests, Goya’s prints, gender reassignment and numerous plot twists, few other works of fiction speak of contemporary art as precisely as La mucama de omicunlé.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This overwhelming novel, which enshrines Rita Indiana as narrator, contains many layers and fascinating twists. The story begins in the apartment of saint and advisor to the Dominican President, Esther Escudero, better known as Omicunle. His young maid, Alcide Figueroa, whom Esther helped leave a life of prostitution, is about to become plagued by the past, present and future. Including deities that inhabit the Caribbean Sea, political interests, Goya's prints, gender reassignment and numerous plot twists, few other works of fiction speak of contemporary art as precisely as La mucama de omicunle. Esta apabullante novela, que supone la consagracion de Rita Indiana como narradora, tiene tantas capas de lectura y tantos giros fascinantes que rehuye toda sintesis, todo encorsetamiento. Es mas, solo cabe una invitacion entusiasta a la lectura por parte de los editores. Aunque para los que prefieran algunas claves, he aqui un resumen: la historia arranca en el apartamento de la santera y asesora del Presidente dominicano Esther Escudero, llamada tambien Omicunle desde que, en un rito afrocubano, se convirtiese en servidora de la diosa del mar Yemaya. Su joven mucama, Alcide Figueroa, a la que Esther ha apartado de la prostitucion gracias a la colaboracion de otro personaje fundamental, Eric Vitier, esta a punto de vivir una historia de pasados, presentes y futuros vertiginosa y, por momentos, aparentemente imposible mas alla del relato. Las deidades afroantillanas que habitan el mar Caribe, la musica tradicional y la musica electronica, el sexo en todas sus formas (incluso el cambio de sexo), los bucaneros del siglo XVII o los grabados de Goya son otros de los cimientos sobre los que se alza este texto lleno de intrigas y deseos, lleno de aristas y de falsas certezas. Lleno tambien de tramas y subtramas; de esos intereses politicos, es decir, publicos, que suelen pasar por muchas novelas del presente de un modo inane. Pocas ficciones hay que nos hablen del arte contemporaneo con tanta precision como La mucama de Omicunle, pocas tambien que nos hablen asi sobre la contaminacion de los mares y oceanos; por citar dos de los asuntos que Indiana aborda aqui. Pero en todo momento con una sutileza que rehuye el adoctrinamiento o el cinismo postmodernos para nunca alejarse de lo que es simple y puramente necesidad y vida. Ya lo deciamos al principio: apabullante. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9788416291083
