Synopsis "La Resta (in Spanish)"

Iquela y Felipe son jóvenes tocados por la muerte, habitados por las sombras que la dictadura arrojó sobre sus biografías. Felipe, obsesivo y delirante, aspira a un número perfecto, un monto que sirva de clausura, que lo libere de la insoportable carga de llamarse como su padre.
Más contenida y racional, menos atada a conjeturas aritméticas, Iquela busca la manera de enfrentarse a su herencia, una historia que le impide protagonizar su propia vida. La muerte de una antigua compañera de ruta de sus padres y la llegada de su hija Paloma a Santiago remece la frágil base de sus días y los pone en un camino tan ríspido como enloquecido, tan triste como liberador.
Con La Resta Alia Trabucco Zerán ha logrado una novela de una solidez estilística deslumbrante. Las voces de Iquela y Felipe contrastan con elegancia, completándose y contradiciéndose para dar cuenta de dos maneras de enfrentarse al dolor.
La Resta obtuvo en 2014 el premio que concede anualmente el Consejo Nacional de la Cultura y las Artes a la mejor obra literaria inédita en la categoría novela.

View Author's Page
Alia Trabucco Zerán is a distinguished Chilean writer whose work has been internationally recognized for its bold, thoughtful, and deeply literary style. Born in Santiago de Chile in 1983, Trabucco Zerán studied Law at the University of Chile, but her true passion for literature led her to pursue a Master's in Creative Writing in Spanish at New York University and a PhD in Latin American Literature at University College London.

Her first novel, "La Resta" (2015), is a haunting and poetic exploration of memory, mourning, and the legacies of the Chilean dictatorship. The work was a finalist for the prestigious Man Booker International Prize in 2019, establishing Trabucco Zerán as one of the most promising voices in contemporary Spanish literature.

She later published "Limpia" (2022), a text that challenges genres and norms, exploring themes of violence, class, and power from an innovative literary perspective. Her works stand out for their ability to question and deconstruct traditional narratives, proposing new ways to approach identity and history.
