Coles El desorden de cumplir años / The Chaos of Birthdays at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Con una voz ingeniosa, divertida y glamurosa que evoca a autoras como Nora Ephron o Dorothy Parker, María Fernández-Miranda celebra la madurez y sus desafíos.
Cumplir años despierta a menudo un coctel de emociones y temores que nos impulsa a hacer balance de la vida ante la evidencia del paso del tiempo y sus efectos. María Fernández-Miranda vertebra un deslumbrante ensayo de tono confesional y autobiográfico con una prosa tan elegante como afilada.
A través de escenas que capturan la levedad de la existencia y mientras las hojas del calendario vuelan, la autora desviste sus reflexiones de toda solemnidad y disecciona sin tapujos los estigmas de la madurez sin caer en los consabidos clichés de la autoayuda.
Un libro honesto y luminoso que nos invita a abrazar nuestra propia vulnerabilidad frente a las velas de cada nuevo cumpleaños. Porque el desorden de cumplir años no es otra cosa que el desorden de estar vivo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
With a witty, fun, and glamorous voice reminiscent of authors like Nora Ephron or Dorothy Parker, María Fernández-Miranda celebrates maturity and its challenges.
Birthdays often stir up a cocktail of emotions and fears that prompt us to take stock of our lives in the face of the passage of time and its effects. María Fernández-Miranda weaves together a dazzling essay in a confessional and autobiographical tone with prose as elegant as it is incisive.
Through scenes that capture the lightness of existence and as the pages of the calendar fly by, the author strips her reflections of all solemnity and candidly dissects the stigmas of maturity without falling into the usual self-help clichés.
An honest and luminous book that invites us to embrace our own vulnerability as we blow out the candles on each new birthday cake. Because the chaos of turning another year older is nothing more than the chaos of being alive.
