«Il tempo di Blanca» is the contemporary fiction novel by Marcela Serrano, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (224 pages, in Italian).
Blanca, a mother and wife, lives a sheltered existence in Santiago de Chile after the dictatorship. An encounter with another social class, love for a former political persecutee, and the hypocrisy of her surroundings bring her to a turning point. Losing her voice forces her to reinvent herself: silence gives way to a new language, that of the gaze.
Italian translation by Simona Geroldi of the original novel «Para que no me olvides». Part of the Feltrinelli Universale Economica collection (no. 1577).
For readers of contemporary fiction and narrative by Latin American women authors, with an interest in stories of women, memory, and personal transformation.
Marcela Serrano is a Chilean novelist. In 1994, her first novel, Para que no me olvides, won the Literary Prize in Santiago, and her second book, Nosotras que nos queremos tanto, won the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize for women writers in Spanish. She received the runner-up award in the renowned Premio Planeta competition in 2001 for her novel Lo que está en mi corazón. Carlos Fuentes has quoted her description of the modern woman as "having the capacity to change skin like a snake, freeing herself from the inevitability and servitude of more obsolete times."
