Book Synopsis
«La memoria es el afecto más traidor que existe», dice Camila Sosa Villada en uno de los textos que componen La traición de mi lengua.
Los recuerdos siempre fluyen desordenados y nos dejan frágiles y vulnerables frente a sentimientos que pocas veces podemos controlar. ¿Es posible resistirse a nuestra memoria?, se pregunta y entonces, como una condición de supervivencia, se aferra a la traición para reflexionar sobre el lenguaje y su relación con el erotismo y el pasado.
Esta serie de escritos respeta un caos, juega con la agudeza de pensarse en otro lugar y habitar otra lengua. La ficción y la no ficción son embestidas por un lenguaje que se hereda y se traiciona. Con una prosa tan filosa como poética, Sosa Villada cultiva, una vez más, el arte de escribir lo que no se dice.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"Memory is the most treacherous emotion there is," writes Camila Sosa Villada in one of the texts that make up The Betrayal of My Tongue.
Memories flow in disorder, leaving us fragile and vulnerable to emotions we can rarely control. Can we resist our own memory? she asks, and as a survival instinct, she clings to betrayal to reflect on language and its connection to eroticism and the past.
This collection of writings embraces chaos, playing with the sharpness of imagining oneself elsewhere and inhabiting another tongue. Fiction and nonfiction are pierced by a language that is inherited and betrayed. With prose as sharp as it is poetic, Sosa Villada once again masters the art of writing what remains unsaid.
