Overview

Restauración es la escalofriante historia de terror de una joven restauradora atrapada entre los recuerdos de una vieja casona de la Ciudad de México y los siniestros planes de un fotógrafo obsesionado con recrear los escenarios de la novela Farabeuf , de Salvador Elizondo.

La novela lleva al extremo la idea del amor como sacrificio. En ella, el daño, el menosprecio y la crueldad se oponen al cuidado, la abnegación y la entrega absoluta, como parte de un complejo juego de seducción, dependencia emocional y autoengaño.

Mientras la protagonista se afana por recuperar la casa que perteneció a la familia del hombre a quien ama con la esperanza de salvar su relación, va develando los aterradores secretos que anticipan su propio destino. Como en el cuento clásico de Barba Azul , la protagonista abre una por una las habitaciones, dando vida a la memoria de la casa y a los fantasmas que la habitaron. Una estructura compleja, una prosa profunda y una tensión constante van conduciendo al lector hasta llegar ante la puerta de la habitación prohibida y ponen la llave en su mano.

En Restauración , las historias de dos generaciones se entrelazan para poner de manifiesto algunos de los conflictos que han vivido las mujeres en el pasado reciente, y confrontarlos con la actualidad. Al focalizar la narración en la perspectiva de las mujeres y hacer hincapié en su problemática, la novela cuestiona la manera en que la literatura ha silenciado, idealizado o invisibilizado al personaje femenino durante siglos.

Propelled by female desire, shaped by the violence of the male gaze, and inspired by the endless vitality of old stories remade anew, Restoration takes on Bluebeard, Salvador Elizondo, Juan Rulfo, Angela Carter, Octavio Paz, Mariana Enriquez, and Amparo Dávila to produce a novel of obsession, reclamation, and romance gone very, very wrong.Jasmina has been hired by her maybe-boyfriend to restore his family home, a grubby, abandoned time capsule where a great artist once lived. As she moves from room to room – scrubbing, scraping, plastering over cracks – the stories inhabiting them awaken, and the lives of the women who came before her begin to overlap with her own. Who is the woman in the photograph? And what secrets linger in that last locked room?Restoration is a ghost story with porous borders, between Jasmina and these forgotten women, between the novel and us. And the questions Barrera asks may be about what’s behind our own barred door.
