by Elisa de Gortari (Author)

«Así fue como renunciamos al horizonte.

Grijalva es una reportera en un mundo que ha retrocedido. A mediados del siglo XXI, la Tierra ha adquirido anillos similares a los de Saturno tras un cataclismo que extinguió la luz eléctrica y fundió el alma de transistores y circuitos de todos los aparatos en los que la humanidad se sustentaba.

Acompañada por su hijastro, Grijalva viaja a Tamarindo, un pueblo en Veracruz donde los niños padecen una rara enfermedad: hablan y se comportan como personas distintas a las que son o las que eran, poseídos por historias lejanas y dolorosas. Los indicios de que el delirio puede ser contagioso --y perturbador para las autoridades-- vuelven apremiante la búsqueda de una explicación. Conforme avanza la pesquisa, el relato nos irá revelando qué ocurrió con el planeta veinte años atrás, cuando Grijalva era una estudiante de música enamorada de su maestra, y su padre, una emanación digital en un minucioso mundo virtual.

Todo lo que amamos y dejamos atrás es mucho más que una asombrosa novela de ciencia ficción. Con un lenguaje íntimo y exacto, Elisa de Gortari ha escrito la historia de uno de nuestros posibles naufragios, pero también, y sobre todo, la secreta carta de amor a todas las cosas que nos dan sentido: desde la música y la poesía, hasta el fulgor de las primeras veces y las diversas, en ocasiones arduas, formas de cuidarnos y querernos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Grijalva is a reporter in a world in decline. In the mid twenty-first century, Earth acquired rings like those around Saturn following a cataclysm that destroyed the electrical system and the electronics on which modern life depended.

She and her stepson travel to Tamarindo, a town in Veracruz, Mexico, where the children suffer from a strange condition: They speak and behave like other people, possessed by distant and painful stories. There are signs that the syndrome may be contagious and the authorities have taken notice, making the search for an explanation even more urgent. As Grijalva's investigation continues, we learn what happened to the planet twenty years ago, when she was a music student infatuated with her teacher and her father just a digital projection in a meticulously detailed virtual world.

All That We Love and Let Go of is much more than a science fiction novel. Using intimate and precise language, Elisa de Gortari has written not just an account of the world's potential fate but also, and above all, a secret love letter to all the things that give life meaning: from music and poetry to the ephemerality of first times and the myriad, and sometimes difficult, ways we care for and love each other.
