UNO DE LOS LIBROS DEL AÑO SEGÚN LA VANGUARDIA, ABC y EL MUNDO

«Mi libro favorito de este año. Me reí, lloré, me deslumbró. Favorito total. --Mariana Enriquez

La fama de la desapacible Kimberly Clark Weymouth, una pequeña ciudad eternamente aquejada por heladas ventiscas y mucha nieve, y donde Louise Feldman ambientó el clásico infantil La señora Potter no es exactamente Santa Claus, permitió a Randal Peltzer abrir una exitosa tienda de souvenirs. Cada día, la ciudad recibe a lectores de la excéntrica escritora y, a regañadientes, vive de ella. Pero qué pasaría si, harto de un destino que no ha elegido, Billy, hijo de Randal, decidiese cerrar la tienda para mudarse a otra ciudad? Podría Kimberly Clark Weymouth permitirse dejar de ser el lugar que ha sido siempre y convertirse en otra cosa?

Bajo la exuberante prosa y la imaginación sin límites de Laura Fernández, se esconde una sólida historia sobre la maternidad, la creación y la renuncia, el arte como refugio y la soledad del incomprendido, en este cruce entre una novela de Roald Dahl para adultos y un alocado y digresivo T.C. Boyle que hubiera leído más de la cuenta a Joy Williams. La señora Potter no es exactamente Santa Claus pretende hacer saltar por los aires la sola idea de la existencia del relato, o del relato único de aquello que somos, porque si algo somos es una infinidad de posibilidades.

A BOOK OF THE YEAR, ACCORDING TO LA VANGUARDIA, ABC AND EL MUNDO.

"My favorite book this year. I laughed, I cried. It dazzled me. A total favorite." --Mariana Enríquez

The fame of the disagreeable Kimberly Clark Weymouth, a small city forever troubled by freezing winds and plenty of snow, and where Louise Feldman set the children's classic Mrs. Potter Is Not Really Santa Claus, has let Randal Peltzer open a successful souvenir store. Each day, the city welcomes the eccentric author's readers and, reluctantly, lives off her. But what would happen if, tired of a fate he didn't choose, Billy, Randal's son, decided to close the store and move to another city? Could Kimberly Clark Weymouth afford to stop being the place it's always been and become something else?

Beneath Laura Fernández' exuberant prose and limitless imagination hides a solid story about maternity, creation, and surrender, about art as a refuge, and the loneliness of those misunderstood, in this crossover between a Roald Dahl's adult novel and a crazy and digressive T. C. Boyle who would have read too much Joy Williams. Mrs. Potter Is Not Really Santa Claus pretends to blow up the very idea of the tale's existence, or of the unique tale of that which we are. Because if there is something we are, is infinite possibilities.
