Summary:
"¿Qué tienen en común el deseo erótico y la experiencia cercana a la muerte? En esta novela autobiográfica Claudina Domingo narra dos momentos vitales. Por un lado se encuentra la adolescente que, en sus ansias por abandonar la niñez, se obsesiona con el placer sexual. Dos décadas más tarde, la mujer adulta llega al hospital con una hemorragia interna que amenaza su vida. En los dos ámbitos reina un sentido de urgencia, aunque de diferente índole: un deseo desmedido por vivir, en su sentido más literario y romántico, empuja a la muchacha a experiencias rocambolescas a la par que conoce la Ciudad de México, mientras que la lucha por permanecer con vida obliga a la mujer adulta a vivir (y revivir) el sufrimiento físico. Si la muchacha vive un mundo en donde los sueños y las ensoñaciones le impiden el contacto con el mundo real, a la mujer adulta la realidad la asalta como una pesadilla"--Back cover.
"What do erotic desire and the near-death experience have in common? In this autobiographical novel, Claudina Domingo narrates two vital moments. On the one hand, there is the teenager who, in her eagerness to abandon childhood, becomes obsessed with pleasure. Two decades later, the adult woman arrives at the hospital with an internal hemorrhage that threatens her life. In both areas, a sense of urgency reigns, although of a different nature: an excessive desire to live, in its most literary and romantic sense. , pushes the girl into bizarre experiences as she gets to know Mexico City, while the fight to stay alive forces the adult woman to live (and relive) physical suffering. Dreams and daydreams prevent contact with the real world; reality assails adult women like a nightmare"--Back cover.
