Elegía más comedia es la única manera de expresar cómo vivimos en el mundo hoy, dice un personaje de la novena novela de Sigrid Núñez, donde ofrece una meditación sobre nuestra era contemporánea, mientras una narradora solitaria pregunta qué significa estar viva en este momento complejo de la historia y considera cómo nuestra realidad presente afecta la forma en que una persona mira hacia atrás en su pasado. El humor, sin duda, es un refugio invaluable. Igualmente vital es la conexión con los demás, que aquí incluyen a un miembro a la deriva de la Generación Z y un loro enérgico llamado Eureka. Los vulnerables revela lo que sucede cuando extraños están dispuestos a abrir sus corazones el uno al otro y hasta dónde pueden llegar incluso los pequeños actos de cariño para aliviar la angustia de alguien. Una búsqueda de comprensión sobre algunos de los asuntos más críticos de nuestro tiempo, la nueva novela de Núñez es también una indagación sobre la naturaleza y el propósito de la escritura misma.
Elegy plus comedy is the only way to express how we live in the world today, says a character in Sigrid Nunez’s ninth novel. The Vulnerables offers a meditation on our contemporary era, as a solitary female narrator asks what it means to be alive at this complex moment in history and considers how our present reality affects the way a person looks back on her past. Humor, to be sure, is a priceless refuge. Equally vital is connection with others, who here include an adrift member of Gen Z and a spirited parrot named Eureka. The Vulnerables reveals what happens when strangers are willing to open their hearts to each other and how far even small acts of caring can go to ease another’s distress. A search for understanding about some of the most critical matters of our time, Nunez’s new novel is also an inquiry into the nature and purpose of writing itself.
