Overview

Selección del club de lectura de Natalie Portman

Una adolescente de buena familia debe hacer frente a un embarazo indeseado. Una amiga muere, tras toda una vida de camaradería. Una mujer se enamora a los cincuenta, pero siente las mismas angustias que desde siempre la han acompañado.

La trilogía de París retrata una ciudad en la que, después de mayo del 68, las niñas ricas y liberales creen haberlo conseguido todo, aunque continúan dedicando su tiempo a fantasear sobre qué hombres las amarán. Una urbe en la que la alta burguesía, a pesar de ser cosmopolita, chic y despreocupada, se afana en esconder bajo la alfombra sus miedos y su aburrimiento. Pero, sobre todo, esta trilogía recorre de manera elegante y muy personal tres acontecimientos que jalonan la vida de Colombe Schneck y que podrían reflejar a su vez la de cualquier mujer: un aborto, que marcará la relación con la sexualidad y el propio cuerpo; una amistad, que definirá el vínculo que se establece entre dos iguales, y un amor, o la eterna búsqueda de unión con el otro.
 
La inteligencia brilla con tanta frescura que abruma: irreverente, conmovedora, icónica e irónica, Colombe Schneck escribe con la hiriente vitalidad de las más grandes autoras francesas.
 
«Una obra valiosa, inmensamente vital. Una narradora con una mirada directa y luminosa hacia sí misma y lo que la rodea, sin pudor ni falsa modestia. Pero también es un profundo estudio de la existencia en sus distintas edades y etapas». -Deborah Levy

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A Natalie Portman Book Club Pick


From the award-winning and bestselling French author Colombe Schneck, a woman’s personal journey through abortion, sex, friendship, love, and swimming.
 
At fifty years old, while taking swimming lessons, I finally realized that my body was not actually as incompetent as I’d thought. My physical gestures had been, until then, small, worried, tense. In swimming I learned to extend them. I saw male bodies swimming beside me, and I swam past them, I was delighted, my breasts got smaller, my uterus stopped working. My body, by showing me who I was, allowed me to become fully myself.
 
In Seventeen, Friendship, and Swimming, Colombe Schneck orchestrates a coming-of-age in three movements. Beautiful, masterfully controlled, yet filled with pathos, they invite the reader into a decades-long evolution of sexuality, bodily autonomy, friendship, and loss.
 
Schneck’s prose maintains an unwavering intimacy, whether conjuring a teenage abortion in the midst of a privileged Parisian upbringing, the nuance of a long friendship, or a midlife romance. Swimming in Paris is an immersive, propulsive triptych—fundamentally human in its tender concern for every messy and glorious reality of the body, and deeply wise in its understanding of both desire and of letting go.
