Synopsis "Perder (in Spanish)"

¿Por qué alguien vive si quiere matarse, por qué no logra apretar el gatillo si quiere morir, por qué de repente un hecho nimio deja al dolor en la sombra por un rato, y esos instantes van poco a poco haciéndose un lugar? En esta novela en la que todos parecen perder (hay madres que pierden a sus hijos e hijos que pierden a sus madres), hay, también, algo que se gana. Al dolor no queda más que atravesarlo, y esa travesía es la que permite recuperar el deseo de vivir. Haber perdido algo siempre oculta la esperanza de volver a encontrarlo. Perder es una historia de orfandad que habla de la persistencia de la vida y de la extraordinaria capacidad humana de recuperación. “Una espiral de sentimientos y emociones en ascenso permanente, trabajada con un estilo y calidad singular.” José Saramago “Una novela que nos dice que, si bien aquello que perdemos es irrecuperable, la literatura puede ayudarnos, a veces, a soportar la larga ausencia.” Alberto Manguel “Un libro que crece como crecen las emociones que se desprenden de las memorias que jamás cicatrizan.” Juan Cruz “Una deslumbrante disección del dolor y de la pérdida, y una conmovedora apuesta final por nuestra capacidad de supervivencia.” Rosa Montero

Raquel Robles (Santa Fe, 1971) is an Argentine writer, journalist, and teacher, known for her commitment to human rights and her involvement in the group H.I.J.O.S. for a decade. Her literary work is characterized by addressing the aftermath of the Argentine civic-military dictatorship from intimate and collective perspectives. In 2008, she won the Clarín Novel Award for Perder, marking the beginning of a literary career focused on memory and identity. Additionally, she has worked on educational integration projects for vulnerable youth and has collaborated with media such as Página/12.

Among her most notable works are La dieta de las malas noticias (2012), Pequeños combatientes (2013), translated into French and Italian, Papá ha muerto (2018), and Hasta que mueras (2019). These novels, framed in the contemporary narrative genre, explore themes such as childhood under authoritarian regimes, revenge, and the reconstruction of collective memory. Her style is characterized by emotive and reflective prose, which seeks to give voice to silenced experiences and encourage reflection on Argentina's recent past.
