Salã3n de Belleza / Beauty Salon [Spanish]

By Mario Bellatin

Pero tengo que recalcar que el sal 3n de belleza no es un hospital ni una cl -nica, sino sencillamente un Moridero.

Casi como un ensue o. Como un homenaje. Como un testimonio a las cientos de miles de v -ctimas. Como un acto de amor. Como advierto que es tr gico que alguien dedique la vida a contemplar a unos perros correr por el bosque. Viendo a esos canes el autor seguro rememora la prueba por la que debi 3 atravesar su propia madre. Al regresar a su ciudad de origen hubo de mostrar a los suyos que el hijo que ofrec -a era v -ctima de un s -ndrome particular. Esa criatura se trataba de un ser deforme. Ser acaso la misma madre que el personaje de Sal 3n de belleza dej 3 abandonada en el hospital? Aquello se encuentra dicho en alguna de sus p ginas. -Mario Bellatin

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

oeBut I must emphasize that the beauty salon is not a hospital or a clinic, but simply a place where people go to die. 

Almost like a dream. Like a tribute. Like a testimony to the hundreds of thousands of victims. Like an act of love. As I warn that it is tragic for someone to devote their life to watching dogs run through the woods. Seeing those dogs, the author surely recalls the ordeal his own mother had to go through. Upon returning to his hometown, he had to show his family that the son he was offering was a victim of a particular syndrome. That child was a deformed being. Could it be the same mother that the character in Beauty Salon left abandoned in the hospital? That is mentioned in one of its pages. "Mario Bellatin
