Why All rains It is a novel (with a lot of autobiographical) about depression and duel, but also about the most diverse fears, how we live, work, relate, love or fuck in this era of self -help and “hyperconnected” cities in which Darkness is lived aloneetc. Envelope The tremendous weight of the invisible, vaya.
And it is that Rocío, its protagonist, lives among a present in which something fails (It would be great to be able to stop and then it would be great to be able to die for a little while) and in which there are less and less grip and a past in which Grandma Aurora is presence and anchor. So much so that there would be two novels within All rains: one that throws towards a kind of intimate existentialism and another that is almost close to Proustian.
In any case, times and characters condition language. The dew girl and thirty -many dew can not be expressed the same, nor can Rocío and Grandma Aurora express themselves (oh that family lexicon (you know that here it had to appear in one way or another Danilo Kis)). Well, that is something that Rosario works perfectly.
Other aspects that I would like to highlight All rains son:
- The delicacy shown by the author when talking about a subject as complicated as mental health. Give this to Paulo Coelho and … well, I don’t even want to think about it.
- His ability to extract from darkness, only through words, so much beauty
- The granddaughter – grandmother. Infinite tenderness, much credibility and zero ñoñía.
What just convinced me, sincerity above all, is a certain impression that each phrase must be a “lapidary sentence.” Obviously, a poetic style like the author used by the author can lead to that, but I think the novel gives margin for more “transitions”, more “rest areas.”
Be that as it may, Rosario López demonstrates that she is an author to take into account in the present and in the future. I just hope this All rains have more visibility than Dry kisses and do not have to wait another 5 years to read a new work.
PS: I remember that shortly after the publication of Dry kisses, While we had a beer, Rosario told me that he was disenchanted, that he did not feel like (try) to publish, etc. Well look, girl, I’m a lot that you’ve returned to the “world” and we don’t have to wait long to read that third novel.
