\u201cLas canciones son para escucharlas, las pel\u00edculas para verlas y las novelas para leerlas mientras se intenta buscar una vida y no para vivirlas desde dentro para protagonizarlas\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cSim\u00f3n\u201d de Miqui Otero es una novela redonda. Me ha gustado mucho. Editada por Blackie Books (editorial que no defrauda), la historia me ha enganchado desde las primeras p\u00e1ginas, me he interesado por los personajes, he aprendido de sus reflexiones y vivencias, me he enganchado al transcurrir de sus vidas y he llegado hasta el final incluso con ganas de m\u00e1s, m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de sus 400 p\u00e1ginas.<\/p>\n
Sim\u00f3n es nuestro h\u00e9roe, Rico es nuestro antih\u00e9roe y, junto a ellos, un conjunto variopinto de personas de distintas procedencias, entre las que destacan las mujeres de sus vidas: sus madres, sus amigas, sus novias\u2026 pero tambi\u00e9n los parroquianos del bar familiar y, de una manera definitiva en sus sue\u00f1os, sus libros.<\/p>\n
Son precisamente los libros los que atraviesan sus genealog\u00edas, m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de los acontecimientos de los que forman parte. A trav\u00e9s de su imaginaci\u00f3n, llevan sus problemas y cicatrices, sus huidas y regresos, sus fallos y perdones, incluso el estatismo de sus vidas cotidianas a otra esfera, en la que cualquiera puede ser una hip\u00e9rbole o una recreaci\u00f3n de lo que, posiblemente, realmente es. Sin preguntar por los trucos de su magia para ser quien quieres ser pero sin olvidar quien eres.<\/p>\n
Barcelona es el epicentro de la historia, pero no solo. Durante varias d\u00e9cadas, recorremos sus calles de bohemia y desenfreno, de Olimpiadas y especulaci\u00f3n, de manifestaciones y cultura popular, de billares y brindis, de \u00e9lites con pasado esclavista y esa otra historia de la Rosa de foc. Los bares y restaurantes, por el oficio de \u201ccocinero \/ imb\u00e9cil\u201d de nuestro h\u00e9roe tambi\u00e9n cobran un protagonismo relevante en la novela.<\/p>\n
Ganadora del Premio El Ojo Cr\u00edtico de Narrativa 2020, recomiendo la lectura de \u201cSim\u00f3n\u201d, una de las novelas que m\u00e1s me han gustado. \u201cSim\u00f3n dice: elijo yo\u201d.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
