In SPANISH

A brilliant, exquisite and insightful essay by Clara Obligado on nature and its relationship to writing.
"According to Genesis, the first punishment was botanical, and it consisted of expelling us from a paradise, from a garden. Since then, we have lived in longing." Under this tension between exile and belonging, Clara Obligado invites us, with her hybrid writing, on a walk through nature where thought and literature, essay and memoir, intertwine. An itinerary through the most untamed and the most subdued spaces that clash and grow within us. From childhood, from the seed, from different parts of the world, a poetic and moving reflection, a song to all that grows. As Marta Sanz says, Clara Obligado's writing belongs to "intermediate territories. Of not being from here nor from there. Of the mestizo, the monstrous, the centaur, the hybrid, the hermaphrodite, the impure, and the heterodox." Perhaps because we are and are not all of that. All that grows.
