Hacia el final la prosa casi se transforma en poesía». -Marta Sanz, El País Una escritora peruana en Buenos Aires rememora la historia de un accidente llamado familia. Accidente que se prolonga durante años como una herida mal cicatrizada, signo de interrogación que hurga, interpela y desfonda. Compuesta de recuerdos finamente hilados al tiempo de la intimidad, la novela se revela como un ajuste de cuentas entre una mujer y sus padres: narrativa filial con la que la escritura aspira a disipar olvidos, esparcir cenizas y replantear distancias. Pero, también, como una declaración de amor y de duelo que no excluye la memoria del maltrato ni la búsqueda de una independencia que autorice al personaje a dejar de ser hija. Quiénes somos ahora ratifica la incomparable voz de Katya Adaui en el concierto de la narrativa peruana del siglo XXI. Sus notables virtudes técnicas, el refinado puntillismo de su prosa y la sensibilidad para hallar luz entre las sombras familiares hacen de esta novela un acontecimiento literario. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION “A zigzagging tongue undermines the regulatory syntax to focus on the blaze, enjambment, and dispersion of the nominal style. Towards the end, the prose almost transforms into poetry.” —Marta Sanz, El País A Peruvian writer in Buenos Aires remembers the story of an accident called family, an accident that prolongs itself several years as a poorly cauterized wound, a question mark that delves, challenges, and staves. Composed of finely spun memories in a time of intimacy, this novel reveals itself as a settling of scores between a woman and her parents: a filial narrative with which the story aims to dispel forgetfulness, scatter ashes, and reestablish boundaries. It is also as a declaration of love and grief that does not exclude the memory of abuse, nor the search for an independence that allows the character to cease being a daughter. Who Are We Now? ratifies Katya Adaui’s incomparable voice within the concert of Peruvian narratives of the twenty-first century. Her remarkable technical virtues, the refined pointillism of her prose, and her sensibility to find light among familial shadows make this novel a literary event.
