Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Una novela inquietante. Un nuevo asedio a lo real Millas tiene la capacidad de ver donde otros no alcanzamos ni siquiera a vislumbrar nada. -Cesar Coca, El Correo El lenguaje no esta en nuestra mano, sino nosotros en la suya. Y nos usa para apretar o aflojar los tornillos de la realidad, para cortar los cables del mundo. Julia trabaja en una pescaderia, esta enamorada de su jefe y vive alquilada en una habitacion de la casa de Serafin y de Emerita, una enferma terminal que esta planeando su eutanasia. Pero, sobre todo, Julia mantiene una extrana y obsesiva relacion con la gramatica. En unas ocasiones, palabras que padecen patologias se cuelan en su habitacion para que ella las trate; en otras, personas imaginarias pueblan su cabeza antes de, por sorpresa, volverse de carne y hueso. Y esto capta el interes de un Millas (otro Millas) que acaba formando parte de esa familia artificial reunida en torno a Emerita en una casa que, casualmente, es la misma en la que el paso parte de la juventud. La realidad no tiene la obligacion de parecer verosimil. En pleno bloqueo narrativo, ese otro Millas se refugia en la redaccion de un Diario de la vejez mientras se debate entre escribir sobre la mujer trastornada por el lenguaje o sobre la decision vital de Emerita, y discute con su psicoterapeuta sobre novelas legales e ilegales, sobre lo verdadero y lo ilusorio, y sobre los difusos limites de lo real. Pero a la realidad, que le den. La mujer loca es una novela que parece ir construyendose y cuestionandose a medida que el lector avanza por sus paginas, pero tambien es una falsa autobiografia y un falso reportaje periodistico. La mirada original, diferente, carente de prejuicios y desbordante de creatividad de Juan Jose Millas brilla en esta genial ficcion escrita con maestria y grandes dosis de humor.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONAn unsettling novel. A new siege on reality. Julia works at a fishmongers, is in love with her boss, and rents a room at Serafin and Emeritas house. Emerita is a terminal patient planning her euthanasia. But above all, Julia has a strange and obsessive relationship with grammar. On some occasions, words that suffer pathologies sneak into her bedroom to get treated by her; at other times, imaginary people populate her head before, ever surprisingly, becoming flesh and bone. And this captures the interest of Millas (another Millas), who ends up belonging to this artificial family gathered around Emerita, at a house that, ironically, is the same he spent part of in his youth. Reality has no obligation to seem believable. In the middle of a writers block, this other Millas takes refuge in writing a Diary of old age"; while torn between writing about this woman tormented by language or Emeritas vital decision, he discusses legal and illegal novels with his therapist, about the true and the illusory, and the fuzzy boundaries of what is real. But reality can go to hell. The Insane Woman is a novel that seems to be questioning itself as the reader moves through its pages. But it is also a false autobiography and a false journalistic story. Juan Jose Millas original and distinct perspective, unjudgmental and overflowing with creativity, shines in this great work of fiction, crafted with mastery and a heavy dose of humor.
