Esta cosa de tinieblas
Mar García Puig, the great literary discovery of 2023, returns with an essay on literature, women, metaphors, and the power they conceal.
We live among metaphors without fully realizing the weapons we hold in our hands, because metaphors not only represent the world that exists, but also the world we can create. And, as such, they can give life but also take it away. Women, always the subject of metaphors, know this full well.
In today’s tendency toward literalness and purity, this book is an appeal in favor of darkness and the power of its metaphors, a guide to cheating one’s way through life thanks to the power of literature.
Mar García Puig invites us on a luminous voyage through the shadows of language, birthplace of the metaphors that condition our roadblocks but also our freedom, with a prodigious narrative style that confirms her position as one of the finest voices of the new literary generation.
