October 2020El Mañana
by Luisa Valenzuela
interZona presents the reissue of Luisa Valenzuela's most prophetic and anticipatory novel. The action takes place in an indefinite and imperfect future, where home confinement, covering the face with veils or communicating through screens are part of the current normality. Eighteen writers aboard the ship El Mañana are kidnapped by a commando group, deprived of their experiences and their words: erased in an instant from the literary universe. Why is it so important to silence them? Is there a language exclusive to them? What are those in power afraid of?Law enforcement officers have destroyed all of Elisa Algarañaz's work, torn it from her library and confined her to a room, alone with her laptop, which they review weekly and then erase all its contents. In this context, she will try to answer his questions and together with Esteban Clemente and Omar Katvani –a hacker and a translator–, she will embark on a story of love, delirium, conspiracies and dangers whose port can be an impossible answer.A novel that crosses the rivers of language towards the origin of creation. That inquires about the identity and the power that people can exercise through words. That combines the redemption of humor with the acuity of reflection. And that anticipates the violent reaction to the unstoppable female empowerment of recent years. A work culminates in the journey of Luisa Valenzuela.
