Hermoso, ingenioso, único. Una lectura fugaz, pero profunda.

Me gustó la ligereza de la lectura y poder leer a Rivera Garza en otro género. Nunca se me habría ocurrido hacer un texto cuyo eje central de cada capítulo o ensayo sean los colores del disco de Newton y que presenta tantas cosas que aparentemente no tienen relación, pero Cristina con su gran elocuencia e inteligencia las presenta tan bien. En resumen es una lectura ligera, interesante y digestiva.

Así si me gusta la poesía. Como narrativa, lenguaje escindido, citando, ensayando.

“Sentir es un verde demasiado amplío”

Leer a Cristina después del Invencible verano de Liliana se sintió a visitar una casa embrujada que no da miedo, mucha luz y calidez en sus colores.
