Hoy, cuando los medios de comunicación han convertido la historia individual y colectiva en espectáculo, la literatura es el espacio privilegiado de la subjetividad. Este libro se asoma al fascinante mundo interior de unos personajes atrapados en sus particulares delirios: un Club de Fetichistas que intercambian sus manías sexuales, un hombre enamorado de una mujer-ballena, un marido a quien su mujer ha abandonado por otra, o una bella y eficiente secretaria-modelo-mamá asfixiada por la familia nuclear. Como niños locos encerrados en un gabinete lleno de figuras, que son símbolos, que son pulsiones. «Cada vez que me sumerjo en el interior de estos personajes, encuentro algo de mí misma , declaró Cristina Peri Rossi. A los lectores y lectoras de Desastres íntimos les ocurrirá otro tanto, sea cual sea su identidad u opción sexual. «Su literatura es un ejercicio constante de exploración y crítica, sin rehuir el valor de la palabra como expresión de un compromiso con temas claves de la conversación contemporánea como la condición de la mujer y la sexualidad . --Acta del Jurado del Premio Cervantes 2021 ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this modern age, when the means of communication have turned individual and collective history into a spectacle, literature is the privileged place of subjectivity. This book allows us to peer into the fascinating world of characters trapped in their particular deliriums: a club of fetishists who discuss their particular manias, a man in love with a whale woman, a man whose wife has left him for another woman, and a beautiful secretary who is also a mother feeling asphyxiated by her family. Readers, no matter how they see themselves and what their sexual preferences may be, will experience the same sensation.
