Los sueños de la serpiente
by Alberto Ruy Sánchez"Una especie de canto poseído me retumbaba en la cabeza, insistente y escalofriante como el viento de invierno entre los árboles." Para recuperar la memoria, un hombre centenario, encerrado en un psiquiátrico, escribe y dibuja sobre los muros de su celda los recuerdos que va recuperando. Esto lo lanza a una aventura por las grandes ilusiones y desilusiones de su siglo, y a descubrir las múltiples vidas que lo habitan. Tiene que inventar a sus ancestros y dejar que destile una verdad más profunda. Tiene que inventarse a sí mismo a partir de unos cuantos jirones de recuerdos o delirios. Su misterio se va desentrañando con sobresaltos, silencios y desbordamientos: aparentemente es un mexicano emigrado a Estados Unidos, convertido en trabajador automotriz; enamorado frustrado de la mujer que sería seducida utilitariamente por el asesino de Trotsky. Emigrado de nuevo a la Unión Soviética, se vuelve obrero en la planta armadora que Henry Ford le vendió a Stalin para crear una utópica Detroit soviética. Fue tutor de inglés de Sergo Beria, hijo del jefe de la Policía Secreta, de la que fue más de una vez peón y víctima. Finalmente será el calígrafo y constructor de este peculiar laberinto. En el centenario de la Revolución Soviética, su testimonio es una cámara de ecos tan entusiastas como adoloridos. Su catatonia y su despertar son los del siglo. Y no han terminado. Otros escritores han dicho... "En su prosa nítida y rápida, Alberto Ruy Sánchez relata historias complejas en las que la psicología individual se mezcla a la política colectiva, la literatura a la pasión por la justicia, la introspección del solitario a la sed de fraternidad, la duda a la creencia. Duelo entre la fe, que es amor a nuestros ídolos y a nuestros correligionarios, y el difícil amor a la verdad. [#] Ruy Sánchez no se limita a relatar: examina y desentraña." Octavio Paz "Aprecio en los libros de Ruy Sánchez la búsqueda de la forma necesaria para cada historia que cuenta. Es algo excepcional en tiempos donde se cultiva lo contrario y eso hace de él un escritor extramuros. [#] De sus relatos y ensayos hablamos con Susan Sontag, quien lo leyó y comentó atentamente, con Luce López Baralt y Severo Sarduy, que escribieron sobre él, con Octavio Paz, ampliamente, y todos coincidimos en esa apasionada singularidad." Juan Goytisolo "Alberto Ruy Sánchez devuelve el ensayo a la narración y el relato a la biografía. Incluso cuando dedica su tiempo a leer a los rusos victimados o disidentes, lo hace con la misma atención al lector que lo acompaña; después de todo, los autoritarismos y fundamentalismos son monologantes y nos niegan el turno de la palabra." Julio Ortega
