Description

Esta novela es el testamento literario de Carlos Fuentes, una leccin definitiva sobre lo que fue y seguir siendo como escritor. Un autorretrato hablado donde el narrador se multiplica en sus personajes, creando la contradiccin espiritual y filosfica que siempre bull en su alma, una dialctica que abre interrogaciones sin intentar respuestas determinantes. Es lo que hizo a lo largo de su vida y de sus libros: interrogar, cuestionar, abrir la ventana, asomarse, agarrar a las verdades establecidas por el rabo y hacerlas chillar. Desde su balcn en el Hotel Metropol, Federico Nietzsche, que regresa a una edad moderna con sus viejas dudas y culpas, interroga a Federico Nietzsche en el otro balcn. Carlos Fuentes, desde el suyo, interroga a Carlos Fuentes que se asoma al otro. Entre ambos hay espejos que los reflejan y reflejan a las edades. Carlos Nietzsche y Federico Fuentes conversan sobre el poder, el amor y la justicia mientras van dando entrada a estrafalarios y paradigmticos personajes al escenario de una revolucin donde caern cabezas. As es la historia de la ambicin humana, de la intriga por el poder, del delirio que lleva al crimen, de la bastarda de la traicin, porque el poder implica hilos manejados tras bambalinas, dominio sobre el otro. La gloria ha llegado, la gloria se ha ido. Volvern los de antes a levantarle monumentos a los de despus, envolviendo a los sacrificados en un sudario de palabras. Y cuando Federico y su vecino cierren las puertas de sus balcones, todo volver a empezar. Sergio Ramrez ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The light of dawn is breaking over the impressive balconies of the Hotel Metropol as two legends, Friedrich Nietzsche and Leonardo Loredan, exchange thoughts on power, love, justice, and loyalty. The year could be 2014 or 2016, and the country suffers the ravages of the revolution that has overturned a ?perfect dictatorship.” Leonardo and Friedrich watch the mob pass by, mindful of the endless spiral of violence it represents and thinking that, perhaps, the horror will never end. Federico en su balcn is a testimony to Fuentes’ literary triumph. A definitive lesson on what he stood for, and will continue to represent, as a writer. It is also a verbal self-portrait where the storyteller is multiplied in his characters to create the spiritual and philosophical contradictions that breathed in his soul?a dialogue that opens the door to interrogations without attempting to provide decisive answers.
