Cartilla de redención

Who is to blame for a misfortune? How are errors purged? Why do we need to redeem ourselves to continue living? Redemption primer delves into the depths of these conflicts. The fear of the unknown and emotional withdrawal. The supervening fragility. The tear that alters the balance, so precarious, of all existence. With addictive and poignant writing, Purificació Mascarell narrates the accident, the inflection or the turnaround that ruins the projected happiness and puts the counter to zero. Her characters seek shelter, consolation, salvation. But chance, dressed in violence, leads them into the abyss: security is only an appearance. This book invites a metaliterary dialogue, with games of mise en abîme and echoes of Truman Capote, Henry James, Elizabeth Taylor, Christine Angot or Franz Kafka. On each page an uncomfortable question hovers: Can culture, thought and art protect us from the pain and disenchantment inherent in life? An intimate and tender novel that openly covers complex themes such as friendship with clean and mature writing intergenerational, senility and death.
