by Cristian Geisse (Author)

«Que estallen mis sesos, que se renueven las fulminantes galaxias que actualmente me hacen sentir que vivo en medio de un milagro, de un prodigio .

Un hombre que bordea los cuarenta años ve a su madre decaer a causa de un vertiginoso Alzheimer. Ese caso y el de otros seres queridos que padecen estados de conciencia alterados y experiencias cercanas a la muerte lo llevan a preguntarse, de manera radical, por el funcionamiento de la mente humana, por los mecanismos tras los delirios, los olvidos y las alucinaciones.

Su meditación, apuntalada con lecturas que lleva a cabo con devoción -Oliver Sacks, principalmente, y también Carlos Castaneda y otros exploradores del cerebro humano-, da por resultado un relato tan insólito como fascinante, una búsqueda personal sobre las fronteras entre la ciencia, la ficción y las formas de la realidad.

Cristian Geisse Navarro despliega en esta novela una escritura veloz y a menudo cómica para trazar personajes y episodios indelebles. Tu enfermedad será mi maestro renueva las credenciales que lo sitúan como uno de los fabuladores más singulares e imprevisibles de la literatura chilena actual.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Let my mind be blown, let the withering galaxies that currently make me feel I'm living within a miracle, a prodigy, be renewed."

A man who is almost in his forties witnesses his mother's rapid decline due to Alzheimer's disease. This case and the cases of other loved ones who suffer altered states of consciousness or have had near-death experiences make him wonder, in a radical way, over the functioning of the human mind, the mechanics behind delirium, forgetfulness, and hallucinations.

His musings, underpinned by readings he does devoutly--Oliver Sacks mainly, but also Carlos Castaneda, and other explorers of the human brain--result in a tale as unique as it is fascinating, a personal quest over the borders of science, fiction, and the shapes of reality.

In this novel, Cristian Geisse Navarro displays a quick-paced writing, often comical, to outline indelible characters and episodes. Your Disease Will Teach Me renews the credentials that place him as one of the most singular and unpredictable fabulists in current Chilean literature.

No viene el título en inglés. Dejo esta propuesta a consideración.
