Literary Star of "mutation" in Spanish language world

If it starts in 1962, the praise and sought -after "Latin American Literature Explosion" was actually 60 years ago.

Perhaps it was because the prosperity was too dazzling, and later generations always felt a little or less prosperous.

However, Western American literature has never stopped development. So far, there are already considerable number of outstanding young writers who have emerged in the literary world of Western language and won affirmation in the world literary world:

Roberto Polaonio, Alexide Sanbla, Hutan Gavrel Basques, Samanta Schveberin, Valeria Louis Selly ...

On the basis of inheriting the "Latin American Literature Explosion" heritage, they also tried to unload the burdens of the predecessors, light up, and walked out of their own new path.

In 2016, a novel of Mexico's novels jumped into people's vision: the amazing long -term debut of the new generation of Mexican writer Herch Komenaar.

The young writer born in Mexico in 1987 became famous with this. After the novel, he was translated into ten types of text and received unanimous praise from readers of various countries. Some people even rated it as one of the best Latin American novels in recent years.

Mexican writer Daniel Saldania Paris has made a very accurate summary of the content of the novel: "By telling the story of a disease, the explorer's fear of death, Herch Camesar created a The absurd and funny world, and touch our most gloomy emotions. "

In recent years, the well -known Spanish writer Fernando Alan Buru also made a confession on "mutation": "Haurch Camesar's" mutation "cleverly swayed between comedy and tragedy, and the book gathered in the book. A large number of characters, in front of them, readers can never be sure that they should smile sympathetically, or smile mercilessly. "

Modern people who talk about cancer color deformation

So, what did this newcomer and new work who applauded and applauded?

There are many characters in the whole novel, and the storyline is multi -line. However, after reading the full book, you will clearly find that there is only one real theme of the novel: cancer.

Camesar said frankly in an interview: "I have watched many novels and movies about cancer. Among them, cancer plays a kind of killer hired by the creator. When the creator wants to create an exaggerated dramatic moment, he wants When you get rid of a character in the romantic scene, cancer will appear. But cancer will not be the theme of the story ... and what I want to do is defined as a cell epic, that is, a mutation The story, from somewhere in the Middle East where it originates, to the transfer of a protagonist Teresa in the novel.

Some people say that today we live in an era when everyone is almost afraid of cancer and talk about cancer. Like the plague of the Middle Ages or the tuberculosis of the 19th century, cancer has become an epidemic of our time. No matter which country you are from or which race you are, there will be no difference between the chance of being found by cancer.

Although theoretically, cancer can occur at any age, but according to surveys, it is found that middle -aged and elderly people are the high incidence of most cancer. What a sad! We who entered the middle -aged "Social Animals", there are parents who need to support them, and their children need to raise them. Marriage enters the "seven -year itch" (or even the second round of "seven years of itch"), but it is precisely cancer. High -incidence crowd ...

Cancer is like a nightmare lingering in our hearts. Let us sweat at the face of each annual medical examination and sweat the palms before each physical examination report.

Others say that the most terrible thing in life is not the broken dream, but the nightmare to come true. For the most losing middle -aged people, what is more terrible than a cancer diagnosis notice?

Both novels and cancer science books

The heroine of Mexico's novel "Commercial" is such a "big grievance".

Lamon, who is overwhelming years old, is a successful Mexican social elite. He easily controls various legal provisions, is proficient in different techniques of different speaking skills. The public relations of the institute completely rely on his personal charm and excellent mouth. Twenty years ago, he rely on his funny humor and sharp teeth to return the beauty, and his wife Camera also gave birth to a pair of children.

But just on the pinnacle of life, he hadn't stood firm, and he hadn't resting on a few mouthfuls, but he was suddenly diagnosed by the doctor as tongue cancer. He needed to remove the whole tongue -the tongue was a guy who was a lawyer to eat! As a stubborn atheist, Ramon couldn't help but began to doubt whether God was joking with him.

The story of "Big Everbright" Ramon runs through the book as the main line of the book, but as we said before, there are many characters in the whole novel, and the storyline is multi -line. The characters appearing in the book can be roughly divided into three categories:

The first category is cancer patients, such as tongue cancer patients, Patriotic patients with breast cancer and psychoanalyst, Treesa, and Edward Patients with leukemia;

The second category is the patient's family members, such as Ramon's wife, Camera, the children of Ramon, Matteo and Paulina, and Edward for the heart;

The third category is medical staff, such as Huamon's attending doctor Huajin Alida, and the pathologist Louis Ramarez of the National Oncology Society.

Obviously, Camesar wants everyone to pay attention not only the patient, but also the family members of patients who have changed due to cancer, and even a doctor group.质 Click to buy paper books

Commesr wrote in the book: "Tumor doctors, no matter how kind, gentle and joyful they are, they will eventually be dominated by depression. Doctors of any other subject, including forensic doctors, will not be like them like them. , Familiar with unfortunately. "

Camesar also described the doctor -patient relationship in a detailed and vivid description in the novel. For example, the tumor doctor Alida, who always couldn't forget a young patient who could not be treated, and Trysa and psychoanalyst Trysa and psychoanalyst, The subtle relationship between Edward, his patient.

The whole novel is like a fictional cancer science book full of humanistic care. With relaxed and humorous heart -warming strokes, he wrote all the world's world around the world. The haze of people's hearts, because fear often comes from unknown, and we must dispel fear. We can only get closer to things that make us fear and understand it as much as possible.

rigorous! Too rigorous!

In fact, some of the reason why Camesar pays so much attention to cancer is for private reasons. Among his families, many people had had cancer, so he had troubled cancer since he was a child, and writing was just a good way of self -healing for him.

It is worth mentioning that unknown can not only give birth to fear, but also make people add a negative moral metaphorical metaphor. Camesar quoted a sentence in Susan Santag's "Metaphor of Diseases" in "mutation": "The disease is not a metaphor, but the most sincere way to treat the disease -it is also the most patient to treat the disease. The way of health -is to eliminate or resist metaphorical thinking as much as possible. "

For thousands of years, because we know very little about it, cancer has gradually become an ominous word. We are used to linked it with "death", although the possibility of becoming synonymous is getting smaller and smaller Cancer and many negative vocabulary are equal.

For example, some people say that Sistism is like cancer as the body. Such metaphors will undoubtedly cause a meaningless burden on patients.

The "mutation" is not long. The Chinese translation is less than 200 pages, but it is a hard work of collecting a lot of information, carefully polishing for more than two years, and abolishing the first draft of the first draft of more than 300 pages.

The book contains a very wide range of medical knowledge. Camesar, the "rigorous emperor", is not perfunctory in the preparation of writing materials. He even invited a surgeon as a writing consultant and learned from him. What specific drugs will be used in each link of a surgery.

In his opinion, excellent professional medical knowledge can ensure the most basic credibility -related stories related to medicine, and only under the premise of trust can readers take the story itself seriously and think about its language further Features and literature.

It is said that because the content of the novel is too credible, the writer's research is too deep. After the novel is published, several doctors have excitedly expressed congratulations to Camesa La. In their opinion, although "mutation" is a fictional work, it has a strong scientific rigor!

Parrot, the male lead's "mouth replacement"

Finally, let's talk about the big parrot on the cover of this book!

Among all the characters in the novel "mutation", in addition to the three groups of patients, family members, and doctors, there is a very special existence: a yellow -headed Amazon parrot.

After Ramon was cut off his whole tongue, the kind maid Elidia brought him a scary parrot full of mouth, and gave him a birthday gift.

Lamon, who lost his ability to speak, suddenly found that the communication between him and the parrot was better than everyone around him -it would scold others, and he would shout out everything that Ramon could not shout.

This part of the plot suddenly reminds me of the Douban high -scoring movie "Can't Touch": White rich man Philip accidentally discovered that after losing his ability to jump in an accident, what fits the most magnetic field is the one that just released from prison from prison. Black confuses Dehis.

The way of thinking and values of the two people is very different, but Dlehis has a rare frankness and vitality on the people around Philip:

He will boldly say that those abstract paintings that sell sky -high prices are like a snoting paper. He will fiercely hold the owner collar of the car that stops illegally and block the door of Philip's house, and put it on the wall. He even He will be paralyzed with his whole body to joke with him, but at the same time, he will accompany him to play, accompany him crazy, and wait for him sincerely.

I think, whether it is Philip who has lost the ability to move or loses the ability to speak, as a patient, what they really want is not to sympathize and careful service, but a kind of sincere waiting for discrimination.
