Las huellas es una tetralogía compuesta por las novelas Los muertos, Los huérfanos, Los turistas y Los difuntos, que hasta ahora se habían leído por separado. La publicación en un solo volumen de las cuatro ficciones revela que se trata de un único proyecto literario de alto nivel conceptual y estético. Una novela en cuatro partes que se plantea preguntas importantes: ¿Cuál es nuestra relación, intelectual y emocional, con los no humanos? ¿Y con las pantallas que nos envuelven? ¿Cuáles son los mecanismos de la amistad, el deseo y el duelo? ¿Las políticas de la memoria llevan a la ultraderecha cuando eclipsan las narrativas de futuro? ¿Cómo se relacionan la utopía con la distopía? ¿Por qué el turismo de masas se ha convertido en la energía que mueve el mundo? ¿Cómo pueden la literatura y el arte más ambiciosos representar las contradicciones de nuestra época? Jorge Carrión ensaya algunas respuestas a esas cuestiones y, sobre todo, insinúa muchas otras preguntas en 700 páginas desafiantes, de una rabiosa originalidad.
This is a tetralogy composed of novels, which until now had been read separately. The publication of the four fictions in a single volume reveals that it is a single literary project of high conceptual and aesthetic level. A novel in four parts that raises important questions: What is our relationship, intellectual and emotional, with non-humans? And with the screens that surround us? What are the mechanisms of friendship, desire and mourning? Do the politics of memory lead to the extreme right when they eclipse narratives of the future? How are utopia and dystopia related? Why has mass tourism become the energy that moves the world? How can the most ambitious literature and art represent the contradictions of our time? Jorge Carrión tries out some answers to these questions and, above all, hints at many other questions in 700 challenging pages of fierce originality.
