Synopsis "Otra vida por vivir (in Spanish)"

«Nadie debería escribir después de los setenta y cinco años», había dicho un amigo. A los setenta y siete, bloqueado como escritor, Theodor Kallifatides toma la difícil decisión de vender el estudio de Estocolmo, donde trabajó diligentemente durante décadas, y retirarse. Incapaz de escribir y, sin embargo, incapaz de no escribir, viaja a su Grecia natal con la esperanza de redescubrir la fluidez perdida del lenguaje. En este bellísimo texto, Kallifatides explora la relación entre una vida con sentido y un trabajo con sentido, y cómo reconciliarse con el envejecimiento. Pero también se ocupa de las tendencias preocupantes en la Europa contemporánea, desde la intolerancia religiosa y los prejuicios contra los inmigrantes hasta la crisis de la vivienda y su tristeza por el maltratado estado de su amada Grecia. Kallifatides ofrece una meditación profunda, sensible y cautivadora sobre la escritura y el lugar de cada uno de nosotros en un mundo cambiante.
