Una mujer atraviesa la menopausia y sobrevive para contarlo. «Empapada. Los muslos, los brazos, el pecho, el cuello, la cara, el nacimiento del pelo, la nuca. Terminaba pateando las s banas, las frazadas, las medias. Despu s, aparec a el insomnio, las cat strofes inminentes en medio de la noche . Una mujer se despierta por las noches con mucho fr o en los pies para, un rato m s tarde, sentir un calor imp dico. Migra as, cambios de humor, c lera, una lista de s ntomas desordenados que no parecen responder a nada espec fico; el cuerpo se le vuelve desconocido. Los encuentros con los hombres y con otras mujeres parecen ahora signados por un desaf o vital e inesperado, mudar la vieja piel. Diario de una mudanza, el nuevo libro de In s Garland, narra esa etapa de cambios en la vida de las mujeres atravesadas por mandatos at vicos. Aparece una nueva manera de leer y se revela una trama de escrituras propias y ajenas que da cuenta de los prejuicios, pudores, silencios, cegueras hist ricas y batallas en busca del sentido necesario para atravesar ese desaf o. Este es el diario de una mudanza que arrasa con la vieja identidad y propone una vida inesperada.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA woman goes through menopause--and lives to tell the tale.
"Soaked. Thighs, arms, chest, neck, face, hairline, nape. I'd end up kicking off the sheets, the blankets, the socks. Then came the insomnia, the sense of looming catastrophe in the middle of the night." A woman wakes in the night with freezing feet, only to be consumed moments later by a shameless heat. Migraines, mood swings, sudden rage--a chaotic list of symptoms with no clear cause. Her body becomes unfamiliar territory. Encounters with men and women alike now carry the weight of an unexpected and urgent challenge: shedding her old skin. Diary of a Shedding--the latest book by In s Garland--chronicles this stage of transformation in a woman's life, shaped by ancient, inherited expectations. A new way of reading emerges, as a web of personal and borrowed writings reveals the prejudices, taboos, silences, historical blind spots, and the battles fought in search of meaning. This is the diary of a profound upheaval--one that dismantles an old identity and makes space for an unexpected new life.
