Estado de malestar by Nina Lykke
4.0
Que decir? La novela trata de una mujer de mediana edad, medica, que a pesar de vivir en Noruega, donde supuestamente la vida suele ser mas ecuánime que en los paises latinoamericanos, se encuentra haciendo una critica de todos los males, tanto de los pacientes como los suyos propios. Con un marido un poco autista, con una familia política de lo mas exótica, y una madre con demencia senil, lo mejor que le pudo pasar es el amante. Un ex novio que al final termina siendo lo mejor que le pudo pasar.
Es imposible no sentirse de a ratos, aunque mas no sea, identificada con ella. Por momentos también, me he sentido agobiada por la permanente critica. Excelente Tore el cuerpo humano de plástico que ella le atribuye sus respuestas a la enorme cantidad de preguntas que se hace. Las ironías y situaciones tan increíbles que se plantean en la enorme diversidad de su consulta, hacen que la protagonista, que cuenta la historia en primera persona, por momentos no se de cuenta, y diga en voz alta lo que pensó que le decía a Tore. Al final, la imagen que nos deja es que no importa en que lugar del mundo te encuentres, siempre hay y seguirá habiendo insatisfacciones en la vida de toda persona. Ya sea en lo personal, en lo laboral, pero los sueños, anhelos son los que nos movilizan y que pueden hacer que las cosas de las que estamos hartos, cambien.
What to say? The novel is about a middle-aged woman, a doctor, who despite living in Norway, where supposedly life tends to be more equanimous than in Latin American countries, finds herself criticizing all the ills, both for patients and for patients. their own. With a slightly autistic husband, whose parents are so exotic, and a mother with senile dementia, the best thing that could happen to her is her lover. An ex-boyfriend ends up being the best thing that could happen to her.
It is impossible not to feel at times, identified with her. At times too, I have felt overwhelmed by the permanent criticism. Excellent Tore, the plastic human body that she attributes to her answers to the enormous amount of questions she asks herself. The ironies and such incredible situations that arise in the enormous diversity of her practice, make the protagonist, who tells the story in the first person, at times does not realize it and says aloud what she thought she was saying to Tore. In the end, the image that she leaves us is that no matter where you live in the world you are in, there are always and will always be dissatisfactions in everyone's life. Either personally, in the workplace, but dreams, desires are what mobilize us and that can make the things we are fed up with change.
