Nona Fernandez

La memoria de las estrellas. La memoria de una madre. Y la de su hija. La memoria de un pueblo. Como recordamos. Por que. Para que. Un ensayo emocionante.

Acompanando a su madre en sus examenes neurologicos, la narradora de este libro advierte que la actividad cerebral proyectada en el monitor tiene muchas similitudes con las imagenes astronomicas que conoce. A partir de esa constatacion, Nona Fernandez comienza en este, su primer ensayo, a escudrinar en los mecanismos de la memoria estelar y la humana.

Tomando nota de todo lo que lee, observa y piensa, al modo de las Voyager, esas sondas exploratorias del espacio, Fernandez va vinculando ese registro a su propia historia y a la del pais, planteando con inteligencia cuestiones que son de ahora y de siempre. Como recuerdan las estrellas y las personas son interrogantes que inevitablemente llevan a preguntarse como recuerdan los pueblos, y como olvidan, y Nona Fernandez las aborda con la sagacidad y el impetu que caracterizan su obra.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The stars’ memory. A mother’s memory. And that of her daughter. A nation’s memory. How we remember. Why. For what purpose. An emotional essay.

Accompanying her mother during her neurological exams, the narrator of this book notices that the brain activity projected on the monitor is very similar to the astronomical images with which she’s familiar. From that finding, Nona Fernandez begins in this, her first essay, to scrutinize the mechanisms of stellar and human memory.

Taking note of everything she reads, observes and thinks, in the manner of Voyager, with these exploratory space probes, Fernandez is linking that record to her own history and that of the country, intelligently raising issues that are relevant now and forever. How the stars remember and how people remember are questions that inevitably lead to wondering how nations remember, and how they forget, and Nona Fernandez addresses them with the sagacity and momentum that characterize her work.
