—Madrecita —dijimos al final del día, al encontrar a la abadesa cosiendo in the study room, inexplicably lucid and calm to what had happened that day. Just thread the needle to sew the mourning, "why is sex a tickle?
The abbess held the air contained air. Stuck the needle into the cloth and began to stitch unanswered.
- And that tickle ... We asked then, has something to do with the dark abyss of freedom?
stopped sewing. We stared through his spectacles. Said
"Freedom, my girls, is also a tickle.
Sex, freedom and nuns. Behold the trio of arguments he has used Cristina Sanchez-Andrade to commit a splendid novel. A lyrical blow against bigotry and sexual repression, along a delightful narrative exercise that can meet the highest literary passions. A novel that should be on all the monasteries and other houses of closure in that wither so many women in this country. In treads the earth no longer your king , the narrator rests on a peculiar "congregation of nuns." Specifically on a anonymous group of "twenty or nuns leaning out" that have their own way the fortunes of his life. Speak from that species anonymity because over time the harsh demands of convent have diluted their individual identity in a collective. Except for the abbess, which is always the abbess , all other Cenobites respond more to name nun than your own.
addition, all living with the consequences of this unhealthy belief that the sin nests after pleasure, especially if it is sexual. As usual, no inferiora questions the enlightened word superior until orgasm test honeys. The Marquise of Large RIBADAVIA and Jack, a financier and patron of the convent, has a son whose hobby is to climb the wall of the house of god and download semen of youth between the legs of the nuns. The religious mystic ecstasy of these have enough of the flesh, go.
The young Marquis is not a Casanova, according to his mother, it is simply a "john asaltaconventos." Also a vague and an eternal adolescent unable to take responsibility. The story of his life is that of a man who abuses her sex and social status to procure pleasure when he wants. As a good man, the maximum penalty which is subject is the anger of a mother warm. It is already known: a prank is a prank, any day you will marry and settle down. For male pleasure, even the wall of a convent is a limit.
However, the story of the female part of the story (the abbess, the nuns, the Marquise and Hilda, a young bride of hummingbird) is another. Very different. For them, raising the walls of society and the Church are impassable, and outwit is accompanied by a harsh punishment. The story of this congregation of voices whose identity has been diluted by the grace of the negation of all tingly is the discovery of pleasure. Also in that life exists outside the walls of social convention and demanding obedience who dominate you. Obey
is not thinking, floating in the delights of abandonment. Obey is easy: as simple as accumulating resentment against the person orders to be obeyed, so simple and natural as hate.Far from being a novel about nuns and convents, treads the earth no longer your king can be read as an allegory of a certain generation of women. Especially those born and educated under the long shadow of Franco nacionalcatolicismo. After the impersonal narrator beat group recognizable female voices, for example, in the works of Carmen Martin Gaite. Those women whose hands, as suggested by a passage novel, were "frying crepes agile and clumsy for the love." In short, mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers of many of us.
I mean, in Spain, para ser monja, hace 20 ó 30 años sólo hacía falta casarse.
Antes ya se sabe: ni educación ni juventud ni independencia económica o ideológica ni libertad sexual. La verdad era una y trina: Kinder, Küche, Kirchen , como se dice niños, cocina e iglesia en benedictino alemán .
Vuelvo a la novela. Vuelvo al asunto del relato sobre el placer. Y dejo a las monjas de intramuros para fijarme en un monja de extramuros, Hilda, que es quien habilita esa alegoría que comento. Hilda es una campesina que la marquesa hace pasar por noble con un único objetivo: casarla hummingbird with your child and make this abandon its addiction to frequent closure mysteries of faith in some religious habits. Through it, Sanchez-Andrade type female shows a family where there is:
Actually, the only one who knew the truth about Mrs. Hilda was the groom, because one day found no cap. It was just before the wedding, the time when she watched her fiance after the door to go as a kid to help with shaving, the time when he scratched his back and wore away the rough edges of the feet with pumice stone. The time when the Marquis acted as a doddering old man.Si Faulkner sintetizó su obra magna parafraseando a Shakespeare , «La vida es un cuento contado por un idiota, lleno de ruido y furia», Sánchez-Andrade parece hacer lo propio aquí con su novela: hay muchas mujeres cuya vida es el mero relato de una monja. Y no sólo eso, es el relato de una monja tuerta subida a la última de las ollas amontonadas junto a la ventana desde donde ve escaparse todos y cada uno de los vagones de un tranvía llamado deseo.
The time en que, muchas veces, la vida era el relato de una monja. Una monja tuerta que, subida en la última de las ollas amontonadas junto a la ventana del sobrado, nos iba dando cuenta de lo que pasaba por su ojo vivo.
Quizá that is the model of "traditional family" that defends both cross monotheistic idiots full of sound and fury that espouse a one-eyed nuns, they asaltaconventos johns and they, with good hands for the crepes and awkward for pleasure. In the end it be true that the Apocalypse is approaching. Of course, while I get my summons to the Last Judgement, lay hands on another novel by Cristina Sanchez-Andrade I have at home: Lizards smell of grass. It is tickling ... Latest
