Chronicle During Books Humiliation

The nine mesmerizing stories in Humiliation, translated from the Spanish by Man Booker International Prize finalist Megan McDowell, present us with a Chile we seldom see in fiction: port cities marked by poverty and brimming with plans of rebellion; apartment buildings populated with dominant mothers and voyeuristic neighbors; library steps that lead students to literature, but also into encounters with other arts—those of seduction, self-delusion, sabotage.

In these pages, a father walks through the scorching heat of Santiago’s streets with his two daughters in tow. Jobless and ashamed, he takes them into a stranger’s house, a place that will become the site of the greatest humiliation of his life. In an impoverished fishing town, four teenage boys try to allay their boredom during an endless summer by translating lyrics from the Smiths into Spanish using a stolen dictionary. Their dreams of fame and glory twist into a plan to steal musical instruments from a church, an obsession that prevents one of them from anticipating a devastating ending. Meanwhile a young woman goes home with a charismatic man after finding his daughter wandering lost in a public place. She soon discovers, like so many characters in this book, that fortuitous encounters can be deceptions in disguise.

Themes of pride, shame, and disgrace—small and large, personal and public—tie the stories in this collection together. Humiliation becomes revelation as we watch Paulina Flores’s characters move from an age of innocence into a world of conflicting sensations.

Write-Up Of Books Humiliation

(3.5) Paulina Flores, a young Chilean author and high school teacher, won the Roberto Bolaño Short Story Prize for the title story in her debut collection. These nine stories are about how we relate to the past, particularly our childhood whether with nostalgia or regret and about the pivotal moments that stand out in the memory.

Comentaba en el libro Manual para mujeres de la limpieza el atractivo de la autora, la forma en la que su mirada atrapa, no solo por sus ojos, preciosos, sino por como esos ojos miran, por como esos ojos nos miran. Algo parecido tengo que decir aquí de Paulina Flores. Me han gustado los enfoques elegidos, su sencillez a la hora de retratar personajes y situaciones complejas; su capacidad para transmitir emociones y hacernos sentir como propia la vergüenza de los hombres fracasados que por aquí

This debut story collection by Roberto Bolaño Prize winner Paulina Flores marks the arrival in the United States of one of Latin Americas most celebrated young writers, an author who captures the moment when failures matter less than the need to share them (Alejandro Zambra, author of Multiple Choice)

I had the hope I would be able to forget. I longed for the freedom of a heroine, a life of my own, a happy one. Back then I ridiculously faced down the world, sure I could defeat it and emerge unscathed. It is always a pleasure and an adventure to start a new short story collection. The genre is currently racing through a golden age, readership has become more demanding (at least the ones who dont spend hours reading trash) and more open to material that challenges our perceptions. We have

Malo,aburrido.Repetitivo, parece que siempre está hablando de ella, de sus experiencias y los cuentos repiten eso.Tal vez el mejor sea el primero que le da el titulo al libro.Uno los va leyendo y no ve nada especial, solo piensa que son cuentos que podria haber escrito cualquiera, con esa jerga horrenda chilena y ese acento localista que tampoco ayuda a empatizar con los personajes.

Un primer libro que define el estilo de la escritora. Mis relatos favoritos: Qué vergüenza, Talcahuano y Olvidar a Freddy. El resto no me dijo mucho.
