by Yurieth Romero (Author)

"Hoy estamos aqu? en la fila, lo mismo de siempre, una pegada a la otra. Odi?ndonos, pero unidas por una misma situaci?n".

Chiara es una mujer trans que sue?a con un futuro feliz junto al hombre que ama. Rara es una trabajadora sexual que desea regresar a su pueblo para enterrar a sus muertos. Katerine sin h es una madre que intenta liberar desesperadamente a su esposo. Todas existen al margen de la sociedad y las emparenta una rutina singular: los domingos van a la c?rcel a visitar a alguien. Su peregrinaje es compartido por otras afrocaribe?as como ellas, que se dan cita semanal para ir a ver al hijo, al nieto, al exmarido. Y es en ese punto de encuentro donde este libro cobra vida.

A trav?s de los relatos que componen el presente volumen -ganador de la Beca de Creaci?n In?dita para Autoras Afrocolombianas del Ministerio de Cultura-, Yurieth Romero se adentra en el mundo de aquellas mujeres que est?n siempre a la espera. El resultado de su escritura es una narraci?n en carne viva y un acto de resistencia frente a las violencias que ocurren en la periferia, que son tambi?n las nuestras.

"En su debut literario, Yurieth Romero devela las prisiones invisibles que delimitan la vida cotidiana de las mujeres. Con una prosa intensa y cautivadora, estas p?ginas atrapan al lector en las contradicciones inherentes a los anhelos de libertad". Paula Moreno.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Today we are here, in line, same as always, one right next to the other. Hating each other, but joined by the same circumstances."

Chiara is a trans woman that dreams of a happy future with the man she loves. Rara is a sex worker that wants to go back to her hometown and bury her dead. Katerine with no h is a mother trying desperately to free her husband. They all exist at the margins of society and are related by a singular routine: on Sundays, they visit someone in jail. Their pilgrimage is shared by other Afro-Caribbean women like them, coming together in their weekly appointment to visit a son, a grandson, an ex-husband. And it's at that gathering point where this book comes to life.

Through the stories that comprise the present volume--recipient of the Unpublished Works Grant for Afro-Colombian Authors, by the Ministry of Culture--Yurieth Romero digs into the world of these women, forever waiting. The result of her writing is a raw narrative and an act of resistance in the face of a peripheral violence that is also ours.
