Overview

«Descubrir a Lucia Berlin fue como dar con un alma gemela». -Pedro Almodóvar, Babelia
 
Este volumen, preparado en exclusiva por su hijo Jeff Berlin para los lectores en español, reúne quince relatos inéditos en nuestro idioma, diez de ellos publicados originalmente en sus libros de cuentos, pero no incluidos en Manual para mujeres de la limpieza ni en Una noche en el paraíso; algunos solo aparecidos en revistas, como el impactante «Suicidio», y otros totalmente inéditos, como «Manzanas», su
primer cuento, y «Las aves del templo». También, una serie de reveladores artículos, ensayos —entre los que se encuentra «Bloqueada»— y extractos de sus diarios nunca publicados. Jeff Berlin nos brinda información privilegiada sobre los textos y su génesis, además de un breve recorrido final por la vida de Lucia.
 
Como escribe Sara Mesa en el prólogo que abre este libro único, «leer estos textos inéditos es asistir a la transustanciación de la vida en ficción. […] Un privilegio». La emoción, la ternura, la ironía teñida de dolor y melancolía, la vida misma retratada con su estilo inconfundible, y los temas que le son tan propios: el amor, la maternidad, el sexo, la amistad y rivalidad entre mujeres, la literatura y, como nunca antes, la muerte se dan cita en estas páginas que nos invitan a descubrir o redescubrir a quien, tras años de injusto olvido, es hoy una autora de culto a la altura de Carver y Bukowski, reverenciada por la prensa, los libreros, los escritores y los lectores.
 
«Lucia Berlin pasó su vida en la oscuridad. Ahora se la reverencia como a un genio literario». -Brigit Katz, The New York Times
 
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“Reading Lucia Berlin was like discovering a kindred spirit.” -Pedro Almodóvar, Babelia
 
This volume, curated for Spanish-language readers by the author’s son, Jeff Berlin, is a compilation of fifteen stories, ten published originally in short story collections but not included in Manual para mujeres de la limpieza [The Cleaning Women’s Manual] or Una noche en el paraíso [A Night in Paradise]; some printed in magazines, including the powerful “Suicidio” [Suicide]; and others not seen before, such as “Manzanas” [Apples], her first story, and “Las aves del templo” [The Temple Birds]. Complementing them is a selection of articles and essays, among them the revealing “Bloqueada” [Blocked], and extracts of the author’s never-before published diaries.  Jeff Berlin provides insider information about the texts and their genesis, as well as a brief overview of Lucia’s life.
 
As Sara Mesa writes in her prologue to this unique collection, “reading these never-before published texts is to witness the transubstantiation of life into fiction […] A privilege.” Emotion, tenderness, irony tinged with pain and melancholy; life itself, recounted in Berlin’s unmistakable style; and the topics characteristic of her writing – love, motherhood, sex, female friendships and rivalries, literature and, more than ever, death – come together in these pages, inviting us to discover (or rediscover, as the case may be) an author who, after years of undeserved neglect, now ranks as a cult figure the likes of Carver and Bukowski, revered by critics, booksellers, fellow writers and readers.
 
“Lucia Berlin spent her life in obscurity. She is now recognized as a literary genius.” - Brigit Katz, The New York Times
