Book Synopsis



«No puedo menos que felicitar a Solares por haberme hecho legible y soportable este delirio y además por sugerir la posibilidad de que estas formas y estasimágenes tremendas tengan un mensaje simbólico ulterior.»

-Salvador Elizondo, Unomasuno

Descrito por primera vez en el año de 1813, el delirium tremens nunca había sido abordado desde un horizonte literario y descriptivo, tal como lo ha hecho Ignacio Solares --con indudable originalidad y talento-- en esta obra. El delirium tremens es un conjunto de síntomas que se desarrollan en el alcohólico crónico después de la interrupción brusca de una ingestión prolongada e intensa de bebidas embriagantes.

Las alucinaciones visuales son quizá el síntoma más dramático de este cuadro, y es justamente esa esfera sensoperceptiva alterada del alcohólico la puerta de entrada por la que Solares se introduce. El reto: aventurarse en la profundidad del sujeto y contemplar cómo la experiencia alucinatoria puede cambiar su trayectoria existencial.

-Del prólogo del Dr. José Antonio Elizondo López, creador y excoordinador del Programa de Rehabilitación de Alcohólicos del Hospital Psiquiátrico del IMSS

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"I can't help but congratulate Solares for making this delirium readable and bearable for me, and for suggesting the possibility that these tremendous forms and images carry a deeper symbolic message." -Salvador Elizondo, Unomasuno

First described in 1813, delirium tremens had never before been explored from such a literary and descriptive perspective as it is here by Ignacio Solares--with undeniable originality and talent. Delirium tremens is a set of symptoms that develop in a chronic alcoholic after the abrupt interruption of a prolonged and intense intake of alcohol.

The visual hallucinations are perhaps the most dramatic symptom of this condition, and it is precisely through that altered sensory-perceptual sphere of the alcoholic that Solares enters. The challenge: to venture into the depths of the self and observe how the hallucinatory experience can alter a person's existential path. -From the prologue by Dr. José Antonio Elizondo López, creator and former coordinator of the Alcohol Rehabilitation Program at the IMSS Psychiatric Hospital
