The novel is what we call a novel, just as reality is what we call reality. There are exaggerated novels as well as exaggerated facts, but extravagance is a virtue in a novel.. We would always write the same things if someone hadn’t gotten out of our way every now and then. All of this comes from a book I just read: The Practical Guide to Crying by the Laura de María I don’t know. Although the story has a common line that encompasses and unites all parts of the story, what interests me more than the global adventures are the stories that compose it, because besides being an exaggerated novel, it can also be considered as an unprecedented series of reports, all of which are of great interest because of their originality. . For example, I had never read anything about Scientology, but it turned out to be a very interesting chapter here. About Travolta, which I didn’t know belonged to this cult founded by a sci-fi writer or whatever. I was also unaware that a movement based on the therapeutic virtues of crying was founded in Japan in the 1950s (hence the title of the book). Also very interesting are the incursions of the characters into the world of psychoanalysis and the research carried out in his own time by Georg Groddeck, a student of Freud.
It can be taken as a novel of exaggeration and a practical guide to crying without ceasing to be a collection of reports, a series of short stories written by Pol and Lea. The main characters rely on each other to ease the hardships of their lives. We can’t change the past, but we can change the way we tell ourselves, and that’s what they’re trying to do. Laura de María’s capacity for storytelling is remarkable. Thanks to him, and in every rare episode, we witness one or another narrative singularities, as if the surprise repertoire had no background. In short, a novel that moves in the suburbs, outskirts, outskirts of the traditional novel. If you are one of those who like to go out of the ordinary while traveling, maybe you will find reasons to be surprised like me in these pages. to deal with tough winter afternoons.
