Paperback. Condition: New. In a poverty-stricken neighbourhood wedged between the city and the sea, a father and son struggle to keep their heads above water. Rather than being discouraged by their difficulties and hardship, their response is to come up with increasingly bizarre and imaginative plans in order to get by. Even whe…n a horrifying, macabre event rocks the neighborhood and the locals start to flee, father and son decide to stay put. What matters is staying together.This is a bold, poignant text that juxtaposes a very tender father-son relationship with the son's sexual liberation and a brutal depiction of homophobic violence. Giuseppe Caputo uses delicate - yet electrifying - lyricism and imagery to weave a tale that balances desire, violence, discrimination, love, eroticism and defiance, while evoking with surreal humor the social marginalization of the protagonists as they struggle to keep afloat in a society where there are no safety nets.Like a brightly-lit theme park with its house of horrors, reminiscent in parts of James Baldwin's Another Country or Virginie Despentes' Vernon Subutex trilogy, An Orphan World defies the reader to look away, and the reward is an exhilarating carnival ride filled with beauty, compassion and loss.

Condition: Muy bueno. : «Giuseppe Caputo escribe sobre los vÃnculos más Ãntimos y las soledades urbanas como un aventurero en nuevos mundos, en busca de un lenguaje propio para narrar el presente. Es un poeta y un narrador de la ternura y la sordidez: lo admiro profundamente». Mariana Enriquez En Barranquilla, un niño es p…artido en dos por su abuela. «Un lado de tu cara es elegante y el otro es vulgar», le dice ante el espejo, mientras traza una lÃnea desde la frente hasta la boca, lanzando una suerte de hechizo social. Aunque ella, a toda costa, intenta que el lado «distinguido» del niño reluzca, la casa se suma en una bancarrota que provoca el quiebre mental del padre y que revela de maneras insospechadas e hilarantes, esa procedencia plebe que la abuela insiste en ocultar. La frontera encantada es la historia de la vida que sigue a ese suceso fundacional. Es la indagación profunda, descarnada y entrañable de los meandros que recorre el narrador mientras le hechizo crece y se manifiesta en el amor, el sexo y la amistad. Y es, sobre todo, el recuento del enorme esfuerzo que hace por recomponer la libertad y el amparo a través del gozo del cuerpo. A la manera de unas «mil y una noches costeñas», esta novela oscila con delicadeza entre la narrativa, el ensayo, el archivo y la fantasÃa. Como un largo cuento de hadas, condensa la propuesta estética y polÃtica de un autor extraordinario.La crÃtica ha dicho:«Para Caputo, crueldad y belleza no son antónimos, sino el doble filo de una escritura desgarradora y sutil, delicada e inmensa, Ãntima y social. Esta historia es terriblemente hermosa: sin maniqueÃsmos, con precisión y responsabilidad, Caputo hace una suerte de escritura total».Pol Guasch «La frontera encantada es una novela repleta de gozo. Su lenguaje obedece permanentemente como un niño entrometido y despedaza al mismo tiempo las costumbres señoriales del conservador clasismo colombiano y las formas muertas de la estética de la derrota latinoamericana. El narrador explora su cuerpo como un mapa de la historia y la historia como un territorio de su cuerpo, mientras persigue el sortilegio del placer. El trauma aquà no conduce a la queja, sino a la rabia como una forma de la generosidad y, más sorprendente aún, a la ternura. Hay un caldo de tonos felices que demuestran la potencia de Caputo como lector y su iconoclastia como novelista, desde el desparpajo de la picaresca clásica hasta las polÃticas del resentimiento de la posmodernidad. El Caribe, en su espléndida variante costeña, no aparece en esta novela como un mortificante gracejo folclórico, sino como lo que verdaderamente es: la dinastÃa del ritmo como forma de organización de la vida».Carlos Manuel Ãlvarez «Pocos libros me dejan sin palabras. Nada de lo que pueda decir sumarÃa a la experiencia reparadora que ha sido leer esta novela. Osada, poética, violenta, amorosa: esta es la historia de una herida común y, por lo tanto, de un consuelo colectivo. Ojalá, quienes tengamos el privilegio de entrar en ella, sepamos honrar este regalo que nos entrega un autor cada vez más elevado en su pensamiento, en su mirada y en su lenguaje. ¡Bravo! Ovación de pie a Giuseppe Caputo».Margarita GarcÃa Robayo EAN: 9788439746317 Tipo: Libros Categoría: FICCION MODERNA Y CONTEMPORANEA Título: La frontera encantada Autor: GIUSEPPE CAPUTO Editorial: LITERATURA RANDOM HOUSE Páginas: 328 Formato: libro de bolsillo Año de publicación: 2026.
