La loca de la casa

Premio Grinzane Cavour, Premio Roman Primeur, Premio Qué Leer a mejor libro del año

Montero, Rosa

This book is at the same time a novel, an essay and an autobiography. But, above all, it is the story of love and salvation between Rosa Montero and her imagination: a journey through the ins and outs of artistic creation and the most secret memories. Literature and life are mixed in it in a cocktail of other people's biographies and novelized memories. And so we discover that the great Goethe fawned over the powerful to ridiculous extremes, that Tolstoy was a madman, that the author, as a child, was a dwarf, and that, at twenty-three, she had a bizarre and hilarious romance with a famous actor. But we shouldn't trust everything she tells about herself: memories are not always what they seem. The crazy woman in the house is a book about fantasy and dreams, about madness and passion, about the fears and doubts of writers, but also of readers. Today, twenty years after the publication of this work, which was awarded the Qué Leer Prize for the best book of the year, the Grinzane Cavour and the Roman Primeur,Alfaguara presents this special anniversary edition that has an epilogue written by Rosa Montero for the occasion.
