El Reverso de la Piel / The Reverse Side of the Skin [Spanish]

By: Tenório, Jeferson

"El reverso de la piel", novela ganadora del premio Jabuti, Es la historia de Pedro, quien, despu s de la muerte de su padre, asesinado injustamente por la polic a, busca rescatar el pasado de la familia a trav s de la memoria recorriendo a a la vez que reconstruye, la vida de su padre. Con una prosa sensible y a veces brutal, Ten rio construye una narraci n que ahonda en cuestiones como la paternidad la violencia el racismo Y el sistema educativo fallido que limita los estudiantes marginalizados y racializados de Brasil, sin embargo, "El reverso de la Piel", es tambi n la historia sobre las relaciones entre padres e hijos y los caminos que recorremos hacia el afecto y la redenci n. No es gratuito que Ten nio, adem s del autor premiado, sea tan bien recibido por el p blico y la cr tica. No es un turista ni hace safari social en la desgracia general del pa s. Tampoco hace de la cr tica a la desigualdad un truco, un atajo sentimental y barato, panfletario, para tener m s aceptaci n y reconocimiento. Estamos frente a un escritor que, corriendo todos los riesgos, sabe construir una buena trama y encantar al lector. Paulo Scott

The Underside of the Skin, winner of the Jabuti Prize, tells the story of Pedro, who--after the death of his father, unjustly killed by the police--tries to recover the family's past through memory, even as he reconstructs his father's life. With a sensitive, at times brutal prose, Ten rio builds a narrative that delves into fatherhood, violence, racism, and a failed educational system that limits Brazil's marginalized and racialized students. Yet The Underside of the Skin is also a story about the relationship between fathers and sons, and the paths we take toward affection and redemption. It is no coincidence that Ten rio, beyond being an award-winning author, is so warmly received by both readers and critics. He is neither a tourist nor does he engage in social "safari" through the country's widespread misfortune. Nor does he turn criticism of inequality into a cheap, sentimental, pamphleteering shortcut to acceptance and recognition. We are facing a writer who, taking every risk, knows how to build a strong plot and enchant the reader. --Paulo Scott
