INVIERNO
¿Invierno? Desolado. Viento helado, tierra como hierro, agua como piedra, dice la vieja canción. Los días más cortos, las noches más largas. Los árboles están desnudos y tiritando. ¿Las hojas del verano? Basura muerta. El mundo se encoge; la savia se hunde. Pero el invierno hace las cosas visibles. Y si hay hielo, habrá fuego. En Invierno, de Ali Smith, la fuerza vital coincide con la temporada más dura. En esta segunda novela de su aclamado Cuarteto estacional, la continuación de su sensacional Otoño Premi Llibreter 2019 , el cuarteto de novelas cambiantes de Smith proyecta una mirada alegre sobre una era de posverdad sombría con una historia arraigada en la historia, la memoria y la calidez, su raíz principal en lo profundo de los árboles de hoja perenne: arte, amor, risa.
Edad reomendada: Adultos.
