Overview

"""El paisaje que eres siempre ser� el paisaje que cargas"". Chilco, una novela de amor, rebeld�a y amistad. Una pareja sobrevive en el centro de la ciudad Capital, sin sentirla como un hogar. Marina, la narradora, es nieta de una migrante peruana y trabaja en el archivo del Museo de Historia Natural y Social, mientras que Pascale carga la tradici�n de su familia lafkenche de la isla de Chilco, al sur del pa�s, subsistiendo gracias a trabajos de carpinter�a. Su mejor amiga, Leila, tuvo que dejar Hait� para probar suerte en este pa�s, que avanza a paso firme hacia su destrucci�n. La ca�da de un edificio en Gran Avenida, los socavones que comienzan a aparecer sin una causa y un movimiento social que se empe�a en demolerlo todo son las se�ales de una decadencia que parece irreversible, al tiempo que la pareja y su amiga se organizan y luchan por una existencia m�s digna. Es en ese momento que Marina y Pascale deciden migrar a Chilco, donde la promesa de una vida m�s plena parece ser posible, lejos de la explotaci�n y la violencia colonial de la Capital. Chilco es, entonces, el s�mbolo de un espacio en el que las culturas de este continente pueden expresarse. Daniela Catrileo, escritora y fil�sofa que suma numerosos reconocimientos por sus libros R�o herido, Guerra florida y Pi��n, nos entrega una novela dolorosa y bella, de un barroco tan inusual como necesario en Chile. Una suma de culturas, colores y voces que representa con maestr�a las complejidades de nuestra realidad actual. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ""The landscape you are will always be the landscape you carry"" Chilco, a novel of love, rebellion and friendship. A couple survives in the center of the capital city, without feeling like home. Marina, the narrator, is the granddaughter of a Peruvian migrant and works in the archive of the Museum of Natural and Social History, while Pascale carries the tradition of her Lafkenche family from the island of Chilco, in the south of the country, subsisting thanks to carpentry work. Her best friend, Leila, had to leave Haiti to try her luck in this country, which is steadily moving towards its destruction. The collapse of a building on Grand Avenue, the sinkholes that begin to appear without a cause and a social movement that insists on demolishing everything are the signs of a decadence that seems irreversible, while the couple and their friend organize and fight for a more dignified existence. It was at that moment that Marina and Pascale decided to migrate to Chilco, where the The promise of a fuller life seems to be possible, far from the exploitation and colonial violence of the Capital. Chilco is, then, the symbol of a space in which the cultures of this continent can express themselves. Daniela Catrileo, a writer and philosopher who has received numerous awards for her books R�o herido, Guerra florida and Pi��n, gives us a painful and beautiful novel, of a baroque style that is as unusual as it is necessary in Chile. A sum of cultures, colors and voices that masterfully represents the complexities of our current reality."
