«Seguirle la pista a Wiener es uno de los pocos lujos que nos quedan . -Alejandro Zambra


Una pol tica de izquierda v ctima del lawfare se encuentra prisionera en una c rcel de alta seguridad en las entra as de la selva amaz nica. Se hace llamar Atusparia, como el l der de la resistencia ind gena peruana del siglo XIX y como el delirante colegio comunista donde estudi en los estertores de la Guerra Fr a. El amor en tiempos del capitalismo la engulle en una espiral de drogas y sexualidad fren tica que la alejar n de los viejos ideales de su educaci n hasta que el llamado de sus ra ces la llevar n a emprender un viaje al pie del lago Titicaca y a mimetizarse con el h roe revolucionario de su infancia.

No hay precedentes rastreables para esta nueva novela de Gabriela Wiener. Atusparia es rompedora y exquisita; sat rica, autoficcional y ligeramente futurista. A caballo entre el realismo social y la fantas a po tica, Wiener da un salto magistral en su literatura y nos muestra, en su «gran novela rusa postindigenista, c mo las jerarqu as y luchas de poder alcanzan a los movimientos emancipadores haci ndolos a icos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Winner of Premio Ciutat de Barcelona de Literatura en lengua castellana

"Keeping up with Wiener is one of the few luxuries we have left." - Alejandro Zambra

A left-wing politician and victim of lawfare finds herself behind bars in a high-security prison deep in the Amazon. She calls herself Atusparia, after a nineteenth-century Peruvian indigenous leader and the staunchly communist school where she studied during the waning days of the Cold War. But love in the times of capitalism devolved into a spiral of drugs and frenzied sexual encounters that led her astray from her ideals, until she felt called back to her roots. A pilgrimage on foot to Lake Titicaca inspired her to rename herself after the revolutionary heroine of her youth.

No precedents come to mind for Gabriela Wiener's latest novel. Atusparia is sui generis: satirical, auto-fictional and vaguely futuristic. Somewhere between social realism and poetic fantasy, Wiener takes her craft to new heights and shows us, in this post-indigenist "great Russian novel," how hierarchies and power struggles can corrode freedom movements from the inside.
