«Gabriela Wiener es una fuerza de la naturaleza y asà escribe: un terremoto sobre nuestros tabúes y prejuicios. Este es un libro inteligente y delicioso . --MarÃa Fernanda Ampuero «Gracias a Belcebú por la mano atrevida de Gabriela Wiener y por su libro, que desorienta a cualquiera que cree sabérselas todas sobre sexo. [...] Este libro es una criatura con sus propios caprichos, que conoce bien el camino al éxtasis, que entristece y desboca como cualquiera de nosotros. Una Wiener que se queda sobre nuestro pecho derramando preguntas mortales como un veneno. La incógnita sobre el sexo, sobre su estrategia para sobrevivir, renovarse y asegurar su perpetuidad. Cuán lejos podemos llegar para sentir algo, qué tan abajo, qué tan arriba y dónde se refugia nuestro placer. A pesar de haber sido escrito durante las últimas dos décadas, SexografÃas me hizo pensar en lo necesario que es el sexo para nuestra cultura. Lo tengamos o no, lo deseemos o no. [...] Que si me calenté al leer SexografÃas? SÃ. Leyendo crónicas periodÃsticas? SÃ. [...] Este libro no pide piedad, pero exige que no mezquinemos cuerpo como lectores. Si la escritora vende asà su alma al diablo por la palabra, por qué nosotros no responder con la misma entrega . --Del prólogo de Camila Sosa Villada ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
No other writer in the Spanish-speaking world is as fiercely independent and thoroughly irreverent as Gabriela Wiener. Constantly testing the limits of genre and gender, Wiener's work ... has bravely unveiled truths some may prefer remain concealed about a range of topics, from the daily life of polymorphous desire to the tiring labor of maternity. ―Cristina Rivera Garza, author of The Iliac Crest
In fierce and sumptuous first-person accounts, renowned Peruvian journalist Gabriela Wiener records infiltrating the most dangerous Peruvian prison, participating in sexual exchanges in swingers clubs, traveling the dark paths of the Bois de Boulogne in Paris in the company of transvestites and prostitutes, undergoing a complicated process of egg donation, and participating in a ritual of ayahuasca ingestion in the Amazon jungle―all while taking us on inward journeys that explore immigration, maternity, fear of death, ugliness, and threesomes. Fortunately, our eagle-eyed voyeur emerges from her narrative forays unscathed and ready to take on the kinks, obsessions, and messiness of our lives. Sexographies is an eye-opening, kamikaze journey across the contours of the human body and mind.
