About this item

«Sombría, orgullosa, llena de suturas y de grietas, la obra pizarnikiana responde a una estructura del deseo.» -María Negroni En el prólogo a esta Prosa completa de la mítica poeta argentina Alejandra Pizarnik, Ana Nuño nos habla de este libro imprescindible en los siguientes términos: «El interés que presenta esta edición, respecto del ominoso imperativo de la novedad editorial, es triple: ofrece una ordenación cronológica de un material que en su momento fue recogido en volumen, tanto en Argentina como en España; rescata textos, sobre todo, mas no exclusivamente, de crítica literaria de la autora, publicados originalmente en revistas literarias de difícil consulta, y da a leer este conjunto como un todo, lo que permite subrayar la coherencia y correspondencias múltiples entre prosa de creación y prosa ensayística, por un lado, y, por otro, entre el conjunto de la prosa y la obra poética. »Los relatos [están] cuajados de motivos y figuras recurrentes la obra poética: la seducción y la nostalgia imposibles, la tentación del silencio, la escritura concebida como espacio ceremonial donde se exaltan la vida, la libertad y la muerte, la infancia y sus espejismos, los espejos y el doble amenazador [...]. Importa menos, en este sentido, la extensión de los relatos que la intensa concentración en ellos de un trabajo de escritura que busca exaltar los poderes del lenguaje. Éste es —y no la muerte o la locura o el suicidio— el gran motor de la obra de Pizarnik.» ENGLISH DESCRIPTION “Somber, proud, full of cracks and sutures, Pizarnik’s work is structured by desire.” -María Negroni In the prologue to the Complete Prose of the legendary Argentine poet Alejandra Pizarnik, Ana Nuño introduces this essential volume as follows: “The significance of this edition, in terms of the ominous imperative demanded of any new release, is threefold: It offers a chronological ordering of material that was collected in bulk from Argentina and Spain; it salvages examples of the author’s literary criticism – and much more – published originally in obscure literary journals; and it allows this collection to be read as a whole, underscoring the coherence and multiple connections between, on the one hand, [Pizarnik’s] creative prose and essays, and, on the other, her prose and poetry. “Her stories feature the same recurring figures and motifs of her poems: seduction and nostalgia; the temptation of silence; writing as a ceremonial act that exalts life, death and freedom; childhood and its mirages; mirrors and ominous doppelgängers [...]. The length of these pieces is less important than their emphasis on exalting the power of language. This – not death, madness or suicide – was what drove Pizarnik’s work.”
