Edición revisada y ampliada de este «antimanual pop para embarazadas rebosante de sexo, humor y ternura. Dicen que las náuseas del embarazo son la respuesta al agujero negro emocional que se abre al saber que serás madre. Cuando Gabriela Wiener lo supo a sus treinta años reaccionó como buena cronista kamikaze y se lanzó a explorar la fuerza gravitatoria de la gestación: no hay experiencia más gonzo que el embarazo. Wiener escarba siempre donde pocos quieren buscar y comparte sin pudor ni alarde sus hallazgos. En este recorrido desinhibido por las grutas del embarazo y la maternidad, la materia se expande y la duda acecha: el amor maternal puede con todo?, qué hago aquÃ, qué espero de todo esto?, qué lleva a alguien ansiar convertirse en madre? Esta lectura es un parto sin anestesia, un relato contra la cursilerÃa y la frivolización que narcotizan a las embarazadas ante el milagro de la vida. Aquà no hay magia ni almÃbar; hay pornografÃa, abortos, pisos pequeños y una madre joven que lucha contra la precariedad lejos de su paÃs. Porque ésta es también la historia de una migrante que llegó a España sin que a nadie le importara lo que habÃa logrado en el hemisferio sur. Han pasado diez años desde su publicación y Nueve lunas sigue siendo un testimonio que conjuga como pocos el terror, la belleza y las paradojas de la propagación de la especie. En esta edición revisada y ampliada, la autora dirige una carta a sus hijes para contarles cuánto ha cambiado todo y cuántas cosas por desgracia no cambian nunca. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A revised and expanded edition of the pop anti-manual for pregnant women, replete with hefty doses of sex, humor and tenderness. They say that morning sickness is the body's response to the emotional black hole created when you discover you're going to be a mother. When Gabriela Wiener found out she was pregnant at the age of 30, she reacted like any good kamikaze journalist and set out to explore the farthest limits of gestation, because, as all mothers know, there is no experience more gonzo than pregnancy. Wiener has made a career of digging where others dread to follow, sharing her findings matter-of-factly and unashamedly. This frank discussion of the minutiae of pregnancy and motherhood raises existential questions: Can a mother's love solve everything? What am I doing here, what do I expect from all this? What makes a woman want to become a mother? This book is as direct as childbirth without anesthesia, an antidote to trite paeans to motherhood and the miracle of life. There's no magic or sugarcoating here: instead, you'll find pornography, miscarriage, tiny apartments, and a young mother eking out a living in a foreign country. Because this is also the story of an immigrant who arrived in Spain to find that no one cared about her accomplishments back home in South America. Ten years after its publication, Nine Moons is as relevant as ever, a unique testament that channels the terror, beauty and paradoxes of procreation. This revised and expanded edition includes a letter from the author to her children reflecting on all that's changed in the last decade and all that, unfortunately, hasn't.
