Synopsis "Verdades compartidas (in Spanish)"

Con el propósito de contribuir activamente al mandato de la Comisión de la Verdad, el Centro Internacional para la Justicia Transicional y el Hay Festival invitaron a nueve escritoras y escritores americanos a visitar las páginas del informe y escribir sobre lo que vieron y lo que leyeron.?La reconciliación es ardua cuando dejamos de imaginar a los demás. Las sociedades, por lo demás, no suelen conocer las verdaderas cicatrices que deja en una vida humana el paso de la violencia. Conocen los atajos mediáticos, el espectáculo, las estadísticas. Todo lo cual pone en las manos de los narradores la posibilidad bellísima de abrir un espacio de concentra ción y de mirada sostenida, un espacio donde se les otorgue a los relatos de los otros el tiempo y la atención que deberían merecer siempre?.Juan Gabriel Vásquez

Nona Fernández (Nona Beatriz Fernández Silanes, Santiago de Chile, 1971) es escritora, dramaturga y guionista, una de las voces más incisivas de la literatura chilena contemporánea. Su obra se mueve entre la memoria personal y la memoria política, con una prosa que combina precisión narrativa, imaginación y una mirada crítica sobre los silencios del pasado reciente. Fernández no escribe para decorar la historia, sino para hurgarla: dictadura, infancia, miedo y ficción se cruzan con naturalidad incómoda, como debe ser.

Entre sus libros más conocidos se encuentran Marciano, Space Invaders y La dimensión desconocida, novela que consolidó su proyección internacional. Esta última le valió el Premio Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, reconocimiento clave de la literatura en lengua española. En 2023 recibió además el Premio Nacional de Literatura de Chile, confirmando una trayectoria que ha sabido unir riesgo formal, compromiso ético y una notable capacidad para convertir lo íntimo en una pregunta colectiva.
