Overview

"En La memoria de las piedras, Catalina Holguín toma el caos que es nuestra vida y lo ordena, para que podamos ver el horror. Y desde ahí, nos invita a soltar la cuerda y saltar, asidos del recuerdo de un verso". — Margarita Valencia

Ada vive con su madre en la Planicie Sur Occidente, en una pieza precaria. Separan basura en la planta y cultivan a escondidas algunas legumbres. Aunque las aguas negras tienden a inundar sus calles, al menos no habitan en el Subsuelo, lugar del que mucho se rumora, pero poco se sabe. Una noche, agentes de Las Lomas se llevan a Ada en una camioneta sin ventanas y durante días le practican procedimientos médicos que irá entendiendo en la medida en que se concreten ciertos intercambios de la carne. Desde ese momento, empezará a recibir información a cuentagotas de cómo podría escapar de esa existencia opaca y sucia, mientras que el recorrido subterráneo y cimbreante de un río se revelará como una nueva geografía emocional.

A través de una escritura rabiosa, Holguín se sumerge en las oscuras aguas de nuestro presente y encuentra ahí a Ada, quien lucha por confiar en un mundo sin confianza y por seguir adelante a pesar de las corrientes arrebatadas que la sacuden cuando decide no conformarse y cambiar su propia realidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


"In The Memory of Stones, Catalina Holguín attacks the chaos that is our lives and organizes it, so that we can see the horror. From there, she invites us to let go of the rope and jump, grounded by remembrance of a verse.” - Margarita Valencia

Ada lives with her mother in a rundown apartment building in the Southwestern Plains. They sort through rubbish at the plant and grow a few vegetables in secret. Their street often floods with sewage, but at least they don’t live underground, a place they’ve heard rumors about but few people have seen. One night, agents from Las Lomas pick up Ada in a windowless van, subjecting her to medical experiments she only begins to understand as her body starts to change. From then on, she begins receiving small dribbles of information about how to escape her confusing and precarious existence, as a meandering underground river emerges as her new emotional territory.
 
Holguín’s furious prose immerses us in the most unsavory aspects of the present to show us Ada, who struggles to trust in a faithless world against turbulent forces that threaten to destroy her when she refuses to conform.
