Descripción
With great formal and compositional freedom, zigzagging between prose and verse, Analía Couceyro proposes in Yendo the story of an almost menopausal woman who decides to embody the imperative of social death that she knows is imminent, once past the fifth decade of life: she stops eating, cuts off the bond with her mother, gives herself over to the vice of being-in-transit, in a permanent journey aboard public transport, where she succumbs to the mania of spying on other people’s conversations. She thus becomes a chat thief, an addiction that provides her with an entry into distant and diverse worlds that she will complete with imagination or use as a springboard to revisit past episodes of her life. Playful, reflective, sharp, Couceyro fills with words the stage of women’s lives for which the status quo only proposes silence.
