Synopsis "Algún día te Mostraré el Desierto"

«Mañana la vida será la misma para millones de personas, pero para mí cambiará radicalmente. Me transformaré en padre [... ] Ahora, en esta antesala paralizante, veo la paternidad coma un traje de gala que nose si ya traigo puesto o recien voy a probarme, pero que no me quitaré más, aunque me quede apretado o largo».   Para un escritor obsesionado con la paternidad, la noche en la que su esposa le confiesa que ambos serán padres, todo lo que ha sido literatura y psicoanálisis se convierte en pulso y latido.   ¿De que sirven las palabras, la memoria y la imaginación ante las bellas formas que dibuja la primera ecografía? Cuán inútil ha sido revisitar las historias de abuelas y patriarcas cuando la maternidad se muestra, sin aspavientos, moralmente superior? Y qué consecuencias tendrán en el matrimonio las nuevos roles que él y su esposa deberan asumir, obligados a la felicidad y quizás incapaces de ella?   Escrito con urgencia emocional y gran destreza narrativa, Algún día te mostrare el desierto es el diario de paternidad de Renato Cisneros, pero tambien una larga carta de amor que se abre paso entre las claroscuros de la inseguridad y las sombras de la depresión para confesar una verdad: el mundo, vasto y luminoso, puede ser tambien un laberinto arido del que a veces es imposible salir.   ENGLISH DESCRIPTION   "Tomorrow life will be the same for millions of people, but for me it will radically change. I will become a father [...] Now, in this waiting room, I see fatherhood as a tuxedo that I don't know if I already have on or if I'm about to try on, but that I will never take off, even if it's too small or too big."   For a writer obsessed with fatherhood, the night his wife confesses that they will be parents, everything that has been literary and psychoanalysis becomes pulse and heartbeat.   What use are words, memory, and imagination when faced with the beautiful shapes that the first ultrasound draws? How useless has it been to revisit the stories of grandfathers and patriarchs when motherhood shows itself, without fuss, to be morally superior? And what effects will the new roles that he and his wife must assume have on their marriage, forced into happiness or perhaps incapable of it?   Written with emotional urgency and great narrative skill, One Day I'll Show You The Desert, is a diary of Renato Cisneros' fatherhood, but also a long love letter that makes its way between the chiaroscuro of insecurity and the shadows of depression to confess a truth: the world, vast and luminous, can also be an arid labyrinth from which it is sometimes impossible to leave."
