Synopsis "Pequeñas labores (in Spanish)"

Pequeñas labores es una amalgama literaria singular y embriagadora que encuentra su principal fuente de inspiración en el fascinante El libro de la almohada, la obra maestra del periodo Heian escrita por la dama de la corte Sei Shōnagon. Igual que en aquel magnífico ensayo digresivo, pieza inaugural del género conocido como zuihitsu, la prosa de Galchen traspasa las fronteras de los géneros para revelarnos las pesadumbres, debilidades y cavilaciones de una escritora excepcional que atra- viesa la experiencia común y al mismo tiempo extraordinaria de la maternidad con enorme perspicacia y sentido del humor. Un prodigioso gabinete de curiosidades, historias, listas y apuntes compuesto desde el asombro de la propia vivencia por una de las autoras más sensibles, talentosas y elegantes de nuestra época.
