by Álvaro Bisama (Author)

Oráculo: una casa que existe fuera del tiempo. El umbral de un cosmos lleno de historias donde lo histórico, lo horroroso y lo fantástico se entrelazan. La nueva novela de Álvaro Bisama.


Oráculo es una novela que se despliega y repliega como un cosmos. Un cosmos que aparece y desaparece, una realidad que se filtra en la nuestra. Una casa -que no obedece a las leyes del tiempo ni del espacio- es el umbral hacia otro mundo, alterno y horroroso. Compuesta de relatos que confunden lo histórico con lo ominoso, en la novela se entremezclan foros de internet, diarios, cartas y voces que transitan el presente y el pasado mientras se cruzan con cosmonautas perdidos, imbunches, piratas, autómatas, poetas modernistas, ladrones y archivistas melancólicos.


Como en las obras de Borges o Piglia, la ficción se funde con el testimonio y la especulación, mientras que la presencia de lo fantástico y lo gótico se conecta con textos que van de William Blake a W. G. Sebald, de la ciencia ficción soviética a la crónica urbana, retomando y reinventando motivos clásicos -la casa, los monstruos y los cuerpos, el archivo, el exilio- para inscribirlos en un presente marcado por la amenaza y lo inexplicable.


Álvaro Bisama construye un libro-laberinto en el que los personajes vagan entre ruinas y conmociones. Esta es quizás la obra más ambiciosa de un escritor único en la literatura chilena actual, donde su autor redobla su apuesta por la narración como un artefacto para explorar las coordenadas de un universo alucinado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Oráculo: a house that exists outside of time. The threshold of a cosmos full of stories where the historical, the horrific, and the fantastic intertwine. The new novel by Álvaro Bisama.


Oráculo is a novel that unfolds and folds back like a cosmos. A cosmos that appears and disappears, a reality that seeps into our own. A house -which does not obey the laws of time or space- is the threshold to another world, alternate and terrifying. Composed of stories that blur the historical with the ominous, the novel interweaves internet forums, diaries, letters, and voices that move through the present and the past while crossing paths with lost cosmonauts, imbunches, pirates, automatons, modernist poets, thieves, and melancholic archivists.


As in the works of Borges or Piglia, fiction merges with testimony and speculation, while the presence of the fantastic and the gothic connects with texts ranging from William Blake to W. G. Sebald, from Soviet science fiction to urban chronicles, revisiting and reinventing classic motifs -the house, monsters and bodies, the archive, exile- to inscribe them in a present marked by threat and the inexplicable.


Álvaro Bisama builds a labyrinthine book in which characters wander among ruins and upheavals. This is perhaps the most ambitious work of a unique writer in contemporary Chilean literature, where the author doubles down on his commitment to narration as an artifact to explore the coordinates of a hallucinated universe.
