Synopsis "El Peligro de Estar Cuerda (in Spanish)"

Una apasionada defensa del valor de ser diferente.


Partiendo de su experiencia personal y de la lectura de numerosos libros de psicología, neurociencia, literatura y memorias de grandes autores de distintas disciplinas creativas, Rosa Montero nos ofrece un estudio apasionante sobre los vínculos entre la creatividad y la inestabilidad mental. Y lo hace compartiendo con el lector numerosas curiosidades asombrosas sobre cómo funciona nuestro cerebro al crear, desmenuzando todos los aspectos que influyen en la creatividad, y montándolos ante los ojos del lector mientras escribe, como un detective dispuesto a resolver las piezas dispersas de una investigación.

Ensayo y ficción se dan la mano en esta exploración sobre los vínculos entre la creatividad y la locura, y así el lector asistirá en directo al mismo proceso de la creación, descubrirá la teoría de "la tormenta perfecta", esto es, que en el estallido creativo confluyen una serie de factores irrepetibles, químicos y situacionales, y compartirá la experiencia personal de cómo Rosa Montero vivió en directo, y durante años, muy cerca de la locura.

El peligro de estar cuerda habla de que "las hadas" nos dan un don, y nos hacen pagar un precio por él; los normales no pagamos ese duro precio, pero corremos el riesgo de morir de tedio, en lugar de morir de amor. «Como en todo, la clave está en el equilibrio entre el porcentaje de desapego y el de sentimiento, en lograr cierta armonía entre el yo que sufre y el yo que controla», dice la propia autora.

Rosa Montero (Madrid, January 3, 1951) is a Spanish writer and journalist known for her deep exploration of human psychology, memory, and the passage of time, captured in a sensitive and approachable narrative. She studied Psychology and Journalism at the Complutense University of Madrid and began her literary career with the novel Crónica del desamor in 1979. Since then, she has established her voice in contemporary literature with works that combine fiction, social analysis, and personal reflection. Among her most notable titles are La hija del caníbal (Primavera Novel Award 1997), La loca de la casa (Qué Leer Award 2003 and Grinzane Cavour in Italy 2004), Historia del Rey Transparente (Qué Leer Award 2006), La ridícula idea de no volver a verte and La buena suerte, as well as El peligro de estar cuerda.

Montero has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including the National Journalism Award (1980), the National Award of Spanish Letters (2017) for her literary career, and international distinctions such as the Officière des Arts et des Lettres decoration awarded by the French Republic in 2024. Her work has been translated into more than twenty languages and adapted to film, theater, and opera. In addition to her literary work, she has worked as a journalist for El País since 1977, where she was editor-in-chief of its Sunday supplement. She currently resides in Madrid and remains active in writing, teaching, and participating in cultural conferences and symposiums internationally.
