Amor

by Maayan Eitan

Overview

Una joven prostituta recorre una ciudad nocturna de lími­tes imprecisos, quizá Tel Aviv. Se hace llamar Libby, «co­razón mío» en hebreo. Sube y baja de coches con chóferes lacónicos y comparte momentos de humor y sororidad con otras trabajadoras sexuales. Su vida es como un sueño que le sucede a otra persona, una suma de violen­cias y una forma de libertad en la que no se puede ser libre. El debut narrativo de la israelí Maayan Eitan, que causó un enorme revuelo al publicarse en su país, ha sido saludado como una singularísima obra maestra. En breves y alucina­dos capítulos de alto voltaje literario, Amor narra a la vez la verdad y la mentira, y se hace inolvidable gracias a su protagonista, la turbadora Libby, descarnada y huidiza bajo la atención paralizadora del deseo masculino.

A young prostitute walks through a nocturnal city with imprecise boundaries, perhaps Tel Aviv. She calls herself Libby, "my heart" in Hebrew. She gets in and out of cars with laconic drivers and shares moments of humor and sisterhood with other sex workers. Her life is like a dream that happens to another person, a sum of violence and a form of freedom in which one cannot be free. The narrative debut of Israeli Maayan Eitan, which caused a huge stir when it was published in her country, has been hailed as a rare masterpiece. In short and hallucinatory chapters of high literary voltage, Amor narrates both the truth and the lie, and is made unforgettable thanks to its protagonist, the disturbing Libby, discarnate and fleeing under the paralyzing attention of male desire.
