Synopsis "La Mendiga (in Spanish)"

«Un talento personalísimo, un arte poderoso y chocante, embargado siempre por un contagioso, obsesivo, irresistible sentimiento de felicidad.» Ignacio Echevarría, El PaísEsta es la historia de Rosa (¿o Iris?), de cómo creció en el barrio porteño de Flores, de las circunstancias que la llevaron a vivir en un pueblo de la provincia de Buenos Aires llamado Brelín, y de las peripecias de su regreso. Y es también la historia de Cecilia, una actriz meticulosa y aplicada convertida en médica de Rosa por obra y gracia de un guión de televisión.A través de un argumento folletinesco Aira despliega su prosa sabia, vigorosa e irónica, brindando al lector imágenes inolvidables y agudas reflexiones, y, poniendo una vez más sobre el tapete los conceptos de verosimilitud e identidad, exhibe su extraordinaria soltura narrativa, de modo que, como expresa en La mendiga, «la realidad queda al mismo tiempo arriba y abajo de la historia.» ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "A unique talent, a powerful and shocking art, overloaded with a contagious, obsessive, irresistible feeling of happiness." –Ignacio Echevarría, El País This is the story of Rosa (or Iris?), of how she grew up in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Flores, of the circumstances that led her to live in a town called Brelín, and of the unexpected turn of events of her return. And it is also the story of Cecilia, a meticulous and hardworking actress who becomes Rosa's doctor thanks to a television script. Through a melodramatic plot, Aira displays his intelligent, vigorous, and ironic prose, offering the reader unforgettable images and sharp reflections. Once again laying out the concepts of authenticity and identity, he shows his extraordinary narrative skill in such a way that, as he says in The Beggarwoman, "reality remains both above and below the story."
