La impostora

La impostora is a literary essay on life through the fascinating craft of translation. The reader does not suspect the risks involved in a translated text. This book uncovers how our political, cultural, and religious order is based on mistranslations; how a trade considered almost domestic is stained by the blood of those who exercise it; how the prestige of writers who venture into this field can be questioned; how, despite their important work, women are also invisible here. Translation is a mirror where the impostor syndrome takes on a profound existential meaning. La impostora is a journey through history, from the Garden of Eden to the last war, an arrow shot into the hearts of readers and, above all, the passionate love song of the writer Nuria Barrios to language and imagination.
