Description

Entre el diario y el ensayo, El manto es una gran reflexión sobre la muerte y la pérdida.

Marcela Serrano aborda el duelo de la muerte de su hermana escribiendo un relato estremecedor y agudo.

Todo lo que le ocurre durante el año que siguió a esta experiencia es registrado por la autora en este diario donde, en simultáneo, intercala las lecturas sobre la muerte que fueron acompañándola en el arduo proceso. Inscrito en el mismo universo poético y familiar que ha definido toda su obra, Marcela Serrano escribe en El manto una conmovedora reflexión sobre la muerte y los afectos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


"Part diary part essay, The Mantle is a wonderful reflection on death and loss. Marcela Serrano addresses the mourning of her sister's death with a heart-rending and poignant account.
 
Everything that happened during the year following this experience is disclosed by the author in this diary where, simultaneously, she intersperses readings about death that accompanied her during this arduous process. Done in the same poetic and informal universe that has defined her work, in The Mantle Marcela Serrano writes a moving reflection on death and affection."
