En la calle del crepúsculo

Rate this book
Un muchacho solo recorre las calles de Bucarest en pleno verano. Sus amigos han desaparecido. Sus padres sobreviven con un único salario. Su mundo se reduce a un bloque gris, un parque polvoriento y una pista de circo que brilla como el corazón de un sueño. A veces, sin embargo, se aventura más allá, hasta llegar a la calle del crepúsculo, donde nieva todo el año. Y allí empieza todo. Con ecos inconfundibles de la trilogía Cegador, este relato inédito de Mircea Cartarescu traza un viaje hipnótico por la infancia, los miedos, las mitologías familiares y los márgenes de la realidad. Una joya atmosférica y turbadora, entre lo autobiográfico y lo fantástico, que condensa en unas páginas la desbordante imaginación del autor rumano.

Siempre es placer leer a Cartarescu, y si de verdad este pequeño relato es un fragmento de un sueño desarrollado en la trilogía Cegador… ya lo quiero empezar! Con reminiscencias de Solenoide, El ojo castaño de nuestro amor, Mircea nos introduce nuevamente en su infancia, sus padres, las callecitas grises de una Bucarest decadente y triste.
