About the Book

Un debut magistral acerca del paso del tiempo, los vínculos y la maternidad.

«Ana Navajas transforma el diario de un ama de casa en una original autoficción con destellos poéticos.» Clarín

«Con sobriedad, emoción, ironía y verdad, Navajas se aprovecha de la muerte para reflexionar sobre cuidar y ser cuidada, sobre ser hija como una condición tan activa y tan arquetípicamente femenina como ser madre.» Tamara Tenenbaum

Estás muy callada hoy sigue los pasos la narradora en Buenos Aires tras la muerte de su madre y sus ocasionales viajes a provincias para visitar a su padre, que ahora vive solo en la casa donde ella creció. El lector la ve en diferentes roles: como madre de dos hijos, esposa, hija, hermana, pero también como una niña sin madre. Con el paso de los años empieza a preguntarse quién es cuando está sola, sin tener que cuidar de nadie más, cuando deja de atender las necesidades de las personas que la rodean.

Recordando su infancia, sus relaciones con sus hermanos y con su madre, notando que ella no está más cerca de su padre ahora que antes de enviudar, también ve crecer a sus hijos. Sus dos hijas, Rosa y Elena, ya no necesitan mucho de ella, pero el menor, Pedro, tiene extrañas obsesiones y sufre mucho. Y frente a ella, siente que cada vez tiene menos en común con su marido, lo que le llevará a replantearse su matrimonio.

«Mucho se habla de la literatura del yo, de su valor. La escritura de Ana Navajas reluce en ese género por su suave honestidad: no esconde sus heridas, pero tampoco las deja sangrar en un regodeo morboso. Cada momento que narra tiene un lugar para la reflexión, para la ironía y sobre todo para la ternura» (Página 12).

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A masterful debut about the passage of time, bonds and motherhood.

«Ana Navajas transforms the diary of a housewife into an original autofiction with poetic flashes.» Clarín

"With sobriety, emotion, irony and truth, Navajas takes advantage of death to reflect on caring for and being cared for, on being a daughter as an active and archetypically feminine condition as being a mother." Tamara Tenenbaum

You Are Very Quiet Today follows in the footsteps of the narrator in Buenos Aires after the death of her mother and her occasional trips to the provinces to visit her father, who now lives alone in the house where she grew up. The reader sees her in different roles: as a mother of two, a spouse, a daughter, a sister, but also as a child without a mother. Over the years she begins to wonder who she is when she is alone, without having to take care of anyone else, when she stops attending to the needs of the people around her.

Remembering her childhood, her relationships with her siblings and her mother, noticing that she is no closer to her father now than she was before she was widowed, she also sees her children grow up. Her two daughters, Rosa and Elena, no longer need much from her, but the youngest, Pedro, has strange obsessions and suffers a lot. And in front of her, she feels that she has less and less in common with her husband, which will lead her to rethink her marriage.

"Much is said about the literature of the self, about its value. Ana Navajas's writing shines in this genre for its gentle honesty: she does not hide her wounds, but neither does she let them bleed in a morbid gloating. Each moment he narrates has a place for reflection, for irony and above all for tenderness" (Page 12).
