Tejer la oscuridad / Weaving Darkness

« Las ficciones de Monge son la metáfora exacta de la locura del mundo ». -The Observer

Todo, tal y como lo conocíamos, ha cambiado.

El calor es agobiante se ha agrietado el cielo y la geografía es otra.

La humanidad, además, se ha du­plicado. Entonces se desata una guerra global entre fuerzas igualadas cuya clave parecerían ser las niñas y niños de los orfanatorios. En una de esas instituciones comienza la más arriesgada y madura de las novelas de Emiliano Monge.

Tejer la oscuridad es una distopía que reinventa nuestros mitos y desentraña nuestra idea de indivi­duo y colectividad, mientras nos cuenta la liberación de un grupo de muchachos, así como la diáspora que emprenderán acompañados de su descendencia atravesando un mundo desolado, huyendo de perse­guidores incansables y buscando el sitio que les fuera prometido, donde podrán rendir culto a sus dioses, enhebrar un nuevo lenguaje y habitar la oscuridad.

Cruzada por un sinfín de voces, Tejer la oscuridad presenta la eterna lucha entre el nosotros y el yo, deja que resuene en sus páginas el eco de libros antiguos y de diversas formas de escritura olvidadas y permite al lector imaginar otra forma de entender el tiempo, el espacio, la materia, el amor y la amistad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“Monge's fiction is the exact metaphor for the world’s madness.” -The Observer
 
Everything, as we knew it, has changed.
 
The heat is overbearing, the sky has cracked, and the geography has changed.
 
Additionally, humanity has doubled. Then a global war breaks out between equal forces whose key seems to be the girls and boys in orphanages. Emiliano Monge's riskiest and most complete novels begins in one of these institutions.
 
Weaving Darkness is a dystopia that reinvents our myths and clears up our idea of individuality and community. While also telling us about the freeing of a group of kids, crossing a gloomy world, fleeing from tireless persecutors, and looking for the place that was promised to them, where they can worship their gods, create a new language, and inhabit the darkness.
 
Crossed by countless voices, Weaving Darkness presents the eternal struggle between the “self” and the “us”; it allows the echo of old books, and other forgotten forms of writing, to resonate within its pages; and allows readers to imagine another way of understanding time, space, matter, love, and friendship.
