Book Synopsis



«Con un tremendo despliegue de voces y empujando los límites de la forma para acceder a la memoria, Sylvia nos recuerda que las niñas podemos hacer lo que nos dé la gana.» --Alaíde Ventura

En los cuentos que conforman Nenitas habitan diversas voces femeninas: algunas son niñas y adolescentes, otras mujeres jóvenes y una sexagenaria; sus historias revelan la realidad que enfrentan fuera o dentro de casa. La silenciosa violencia doméstica, el duelo, la amistad, la muerte y el amor son temas centrales en esta obra que retrata de manera íntima y profunda los sueños, heridas y miedos de cada una de las protagonistas.

La autora se asoma al interior del universo femenino para trazar una cartografía emocional que muestra las estructuras sociales y patriarcales, y cómo operan en la cotidianidad de la vida de las mujeres. La pluma de Sylvia Aguilar Zéleny logra, con su estilo inconfundible, confrontar y conmover a quien se acerque a estas nenitas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"With a tremendous display of voices, and pushing the limits of form to access memory, Sylvia reminds us that we girls can do whatever we want." --Alaíde Ventura

In the short stories that conform Little Girls, there are several female voices: some are girls and teenagers, others young women, and there is also a sixty-year-old woman. Their stories expose the reality they face in and out of their homes. A quiet domestic violence, grief, friendship, death, and love are the main themes in this book, portraying the dreams, wounds, and fears of all the protagonists in an intimate and profound way.

The author looks within the feminine universe to trace an emotional cartography that shows social and patriarchal structures, and how they operate in women's everyday life. With her distinctive style, Sylvia Aguilar Zéleny's pen confronts and touches the heart of anyone who comes close to these little girls.
