A pesar de que cualquiera de las piezas que lo componen funcionan individualmente, se complementan entre sí: todos parecen variaciones del mismo tema, la relación simbólica entre los animales y los humanos. Insectos, hongos, peces, gatos, humanos, todos compartimos una esencia inexplicable, "subterránea". Aunque me parece que todos los personajes narradores de este libro tienen una voz demasiado parecida, se perdona por el carácter unitario de las narraciones. Comparten todos los cuentos, hasta cierto punto, un ambiente muy propio de la literatura fantástica, sin salirse de los confines de la narrativa realista. Un experimento literario verdaderamente bien logrado. Aún así, tengo la sensación de que lo mejor que puede ofrecer Guadalupe Nettel está aún por llegar a mis manos. It is always a delight to come across a unique literary concept. Guadalupe Nettel, a Mexican author, has written a small collection of fascinating stories in which each protagonist's life crisis is paralleled by another living creature. Imagine having your life crisis compared to that of a poisonous Chinese viper, a Siamese fighting fish, a cockroach, a feral cat, or even a toe fungus. I told you the stories are unique! Nettel's prose is taut and engaging. I would recommend this collection for anyone who enjoys thinking outside the box, or can at least tolerate it! aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:Siamese fighting fish, cockroaches, cats, a snake, and a strange fungus all serve here as mirrors that reflect the unconfessable aspects of human nature buried within us. The traits and fates of these animals illuminate such deeply natural, human experiences as the cruelty born of cohabitation, the desire to reproduce and the impulse not to, and the inexplicable connection that can bind, eerily, two beings together. Each Nettel tale creates, with tightly wound narrative tension, a space wherein her characters feel excruciatingly human, exploring how the wounds we incur in life manifest themselves within us, clandestinely, irrevocably, both unseen and overtly. In a precise writing style that is both subtle and spellbinding, Nettel renders the ordinary unsettling, and the grotesque exquisite. Natural Histories is the winner of the 3rd Ribera del Duero International Award for Short Narratives, an important Spanish literature prize. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Bestiario sentimentale non è un brutto libro, ma non aggiunge niente rispetto a ciò che sappiamo già su cosa può accadere in certi momenti importanti nella vita. Nessuno di questi cinque racconti offre un punto di vista nuovo e nemmeno il confronto con il regno animale è in grado di arricchire granché quest’esperienza di lettura.
Anzi, già leggere la panoramica che la casa editrice fa nel libro vi dà un’idea abbastanza chiara del contenuto dei racconti: non c’è davvero niente che sia riuscito a sorprendermi. ( )
