Carta de un ateo guatemalteco al Santo Padre
by Rodrigo Rey RosaLa última y provocadora novela de Rodrigo Rey Rosa, ganador del Premio Nacional de Literatura de Guatemala Miguel Ángel Asturias y del Premio Iberoamericano de las Letras José Donoso, entre otros. «Pensad en un cruce entre John le Carré y Franz Kafka.» (Asymptote Journal) O si el río que era el alma de una sacerdotisa se secaba o se corrompía, ¿se secaba o se corrompía también el alma de la mujer? En un momento en que la Iglesia católica está en la mira por escándalos de pederastia y por los debates sobre el aborto, Román Rodolfo Rovirosa, doctor en Religiones Comparadas, escribe una carta al papa Francisco para pedirle que interceda en otro asunto, no menos grave: la expropiación por parte de la Iglesia de las tierras de los cofrades mayas. Así empieza este thriller literario en el que una vez más Rey Rosa desvela los entresijos del poder en Guatemala y la verdad sobreconflictos y reivindicaciones que se remontan al pasado pero siguen hoy vigentes. Con su prosa quirúrgica en la que no faltan el humor y la sensualidad, crea una trama hipnótica de personajes memorables -como el comparador de religiones y su hijo, cuya relación encuentra eco en el cofrade don Melchor y sus dos hijos, o la profesora de yoga- que nos mantienen en vilo hasta la respuesta final. La crítica ha dicho sobre el autor...«Uno de los escritores más sugerentes de Centroamérica. El que saliendo de Borges ha llegado mejor (en su generación) a ser él mismo.»Antonio Lucas, El Mundo « Rey Rosa es un maestro consumado, el mejor de mi generación. [...] La prosa de Rey Rosa es metódica y sabia. No desdeña, en algunos momentos, el látigo -o mejor dicho: el chasquido lejano de un látigo que jamás vemos- ni el camuflaje. No es un maestro de la resistencia sino una sombra, una raya que atraviesa veloz el espacio de la normalidad. Su elegancia nunca va en demérito de su precisión. Leerlo es aprender a escribir y también es una invitación al puro placer de dejarse arrastrar por historias siniestras o fantásticas.»Roberto Bolaño, Entre paréntesis «La escritura ágil, gozosa y contenida, un cuidado casi artesanal por la palabra ajustada sin pedantería. Rey Rosa es un escritor que escribe bien sin que se note, eso que antes se llamaría clásico. [...] Los libros de Rey Rosa son libros siempre valiosos y, como se ha repetido muchas veces, adictivos.»Carlos Pardo, Babelia «Rey Rosa arma frases con las palabras tan ajustadas que en ocasiones parece imposible decir lo mismo con una letra de más. Escribe en corto. Certero. Como quien le entra a la existencia con un berbiquí por delante. Lo disfrutas de un modo extraño, casi irracional. Maneja una literatura penetrante, con un carril moral que, sin darte cuenta, tiene algo de trepanador.»Antonio Lucas, El Mundo «Rodrigo Rey Rosa ha hecho de la sobriedad un efecto de estilo con el que está edificando una de las más notables trayectorias literarias de la literatura latinoamericana.»Ricardo Baixeras, El Periódico de Catalunya «Rey Rosa es a la vez parco, delicado y rotundo, como sus libros.»Javier Rodríguez Marcos, Babelia (portada) «Pensad en un cruce entre John le Carré y Franz Kafka.»Asymptote Journal
