Ni cl\u00e1sico todav\u00eda, ni actual, sin embargo m\u00e1s cercano al momento pol\u00edtico que estamos viviendo que al de entonces. Los personajes est\u00e1n inmersos en un caos que responde a una falta de criterio pol\u00edtico o de organizaci\u00f3n. De alguna manera esa sociedad en la que viven ha perdido el norte literalmente, se mueve sin saber hacia d\u00f3nde, las instituciones ejercen un poder m\u00e1s que un papel, act\u00faan siguiendo un manual de leyes que permiten o rechazan comportamientos sin m\u00e1s raz\u00f3n que la costumbre.Cheever construye una narraci\u00f3n, no una novela, cimentada en sensaciones. Algo as\u00ed como voy a contar la p\u00e9rdida de criterio, el olvido de lo aut\u00e9ntico, lo que nos daba sentido. Y para eso elige a un viejo todav\u00eda firme, que se resiste a perder la capacidad de sentir y que ya, libre de las ataduras del trabajo, que te mantiene alimentando ese sistema absurdo, puede mirar desde la nostalgia, contrastar el presente con un pasado propio pero lejan\u00edsimo en cuanto al modo de vida. Puede adem\u00e1s traer al presente el momento de la juventud madura, ese en el que tienes que actuar aunque no sepas c\u00f3mo. As\u00ed que, en esa vivencia del tiempo no limitado por el trabajo, los hechos pierden sus contornos y la mirada toma distancia.El narrador dirige la lectura obligando a entrar en la historia, a mirar ese mundo enrarecido desde la perspectiva del mundo natural de antes, donde el paisaje y el hombre viv\u00edan en armon\u00eda. Y esa armon\u00eda, simbolizada en el agua pura, capaz de albergar truchas y berros, es la que necesita encontrar el viejo protagonista, todav\u00eda firme. Nada transmite una sensaci\u00f3n de realidad, como si se hubiera quedado al otro lado. S\u00f3lo la recuperaci\u00f3n del agua pura hace posible la vuelta de las cosas mismas, es el momento en el que el personaje es capaz de ver el mundo fuera de \u00e9l.El lector puede sentir la extra\u00f1eza de los acontecimientos que se van enlazando hasta aclarar c\u00f3mo pudo suceder la vuelta al agua virgen. Puro surrealismo desde la distancia, pero lo que lo convierte en verdaderamente extra\u00f1o es que esos acontecimientos podr\u00edan suceder en cualquier momento y cualquier lugar. Es la conciencia que abre la narraci\u00f3n, el asistir de repente a los resortes que mueven a los personajes, emociones siempre incontroladas, lo que hace caer en la cuenta del absurdo. Las manos negras que llevar\u00edan el mundo a la cat\u00e1strofe no son m\u00e1s que todas las no decisiones de la vida cotidiana de cada uno de nosotros. No voy a contar qu\u00e9 decisi\u00f3n resuelve el problema porque ser\u00eda desvelar la intriga, pero tiene que ver con que algo llegue a despertarnos del letargo, una acci\u00f3n que emocionalmente nos obligue a implicarnos.La iron\u00eda sigue funcionando como una amable y clara forma de despertar. Ah\u00ed nos movemos en el \u00e1mbito de lo compartido. La risa es en el fondo la celebraci\u00f3n de entendernos, contemos lo que contemos, vengamos de donde vengamos.Silvia Bardel\u00e1s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Cheever<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":92810,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[23],"product_cat":[5808,5807,5806,11582],"product_tag":[5822],"class_list":["post-26402","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-epub-paradise","product_cat-ebooks","product_cat-epub","product_cat-espanol","product_cat-john-cheever","product_tag-drama","desktop-align-center","tablet-align-left","mobile-align-center","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
