    Content: Eine junge Psychologiestudentin aus Buenos Aires wird auf seltsame Weise mit ihrer wahren Identität konfrontiert. Ein mitreißender und verstörender Roman über die Menschenrechtsverletzungen während der argentinischen Militärdiktatur von 1976-1983.
    Content: Die aus Uruguay stammende Autorin liefert mit ihrem 2. Roman ein deutlich intensiveres Werk ab als ihren bereits gut verkauften Erstling (BA 8/09). Die Psychologiestudentin Perla ist ein behütetes Einzelkind einer Militärfamilie aus Buenos Aires. Eines Tages taucht ein glitschiger, nach Fisch stinkender, nackter Mann in ihrem Haus auf, der kaum sprechen kann. Gleichzeitig fasziniert und irritiert von ihm, stellt sie fest, dass es sich um einen der Verschwundenen handelt: Menschen, die während der argentinischen Militärdiktatur von 1976-1983 vom Staat entführt, gefoltert und ermordet wurden. So wird sie schließlich schmerzhaft mit ihrer wahren Identität konfrontiert: Sie ist eines der entwendeten Babys, das von den Militärs neuen Eltern zugeführt wurde, und die seltsame Gestalt ihr echter Vater. Der durchweg empfehlenswerte Roman ist psychologisch fesselnd und flüssig geschrieben und thematisiert eines der dunkelsten Kapitel der neueren argentinischen Geschichte (vgl. Hörbuch in dieser Nr.). Ein gutes Sachbuch hierzu, das 8 wahre Einzelschicksale vereint, ist "Paula, du bist Laura!" (BA 12/10). [Maria-Inti Metzendorf]

    Content: " An incandescent novel&mdash,olitical, mystical, timely, and heartening&mdash,bout the power of memory, and the pursuit of justice, from the acclaimed author of ,i〉Cantoras .  ,br〉 &ldquo, joy to read. Playful and profound, unearthly yet deeply rooted, this sublime and gripping novel is above all about hope: that within the world's messy pain there is still room for transformation and healing.&rdquo,mdash,adeline Miller, New York Times bestselling author of ,i〉CirceAt his modest home on the edge of town, the former president of an unnamed Latin American country receives a journalist in his famed gardens to discuss his legacy and the dire circumstances that threaten democracy around the globe. Once known as the Poorest President in the World, his reputation is the stuff of myth: a former guerilla who was jailed for inciting revolution before becoming the face of justice, human rights, and selflessness for his nation. Now, as he talks to the journalist, he wonders if he should reveal the strange secret of his imprisonment: while held in brutal solitary confinement, he survived, in part, by discussing revolution, the quest for dignity, and what it means to love a country, with the only creature who ever spoke back—a loud-mouth frog. As engrossing as it is innovative, ,ivid, moving, and full of wit and humor, The President and the Frog  ,xplores the resilience of the human spirit and what is possible when danger looms. Ferrying us between a grim jail cell and the president's lush gardens, the tale reaches beyond all borders and invites us to reimagine what it means to lead, to dare, and to dream."
    Content: Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: July 12, 2021 De Robertis ( Cantoras ) meditates on the fight for democracy in her pleasing latest. An unnamed 82-year-old former president of a “near-forgotten” Latin American country “at the bottom of the world” answers a journalist’s probing questions: How did the former guerrilla fighter rise from obscurity and imprisonment to become “The Poorest President in the World,” and how can his country serve as an international symbol of hope? As he considers his replies, he recalls lessons from his darkest hours: 40 years before, he was captured after a failed revolution and condemned to isolation in a dirty pit, where his only companion was a talking frog. To satisfy the creature’s demand for “true stories,” the narrator recalls memories that inspired his love of his country and his care for its people, such as strangers coming together during the initial military crackdowns to dig underground tunnels and free prisoners. Though he understands the frog is a manifestation of madness, the president ruminates on the sacrifices of the poor and abuses of the powerful as the narrative strands of past and present become one. While the allegorical aspects can feel a bit pat, the tale’s simplicity belies considerable depth and resonance: “Even horror is an opening, every moment a new beginning, until we reach the end.” In such a charged political moment, this lands as both a balm and a paean to national pride and unity."

    Content: " Cantoras es audaz y desacomplejada, un reto a la noción de normalidad y un tributo al poder del amor, la amistad, y la resistencia política. Es una fábula revolucionaria, ideal para este momento, escrita con sabiduría y amor. Dina Nayeri, The New York Times Book Review En el Uruguay de 1977, el gobierno militar oprime a los disidentes con una fuerza brutal. En este ambiente opresivo donde los derechos personales están suspendidos, la homosexualidad es una transgresión peligrosa que debe ser castigada. Aun así, Romina, Flaca, Anita La Venus, Paz, y Malenacinco cantorasse encuentran milagrosamente en Cabo Polonio, un lugar aislado que reclaman como su santuario secreto. Y este despertar se contrapone al telón de fondo político del golpe de estado, la represión y las desapariciones. Durante los siguientes treinta y cinco años, sus vidas se reparten entre Montevideo, su ciudad de residencia, y el cabo, al que regresan a veces juntas, a veces en parejas, con amantes, o solas. Una y otra vez, estas mujeres serán puestas a pruebapor sus familias, sus parejas, la sociedad y hasta por ellas mismasmientras descubren como vivir de manera auténtica. Cantoras, la obra maestra de De Robertis, es un asombroso retrato de amor, comunidad, historia, y la fuerza del espíritu humano. Eterna e innovadora, Cantoras es una novela sobre el fuego que existe en el alma y sobre quienes lo hacen arder. "
    Content: Biographisches: " Carolina de Robertis es una autora uruguayo-estadounidense y profesora de escritura creativa en la Universidad Estatal de San Francisco. Es autora de cuatro novelas y editora de una antología galardonada, Radical Hope (2017), que incluye ensayos de escritores como Junot Diaz y Jane Smiley. " Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: August 19, 2019 This sensuous tale from De Robertis ( The Gods of Tango ) takes readers to the author’s native Uruguay during the 1970s to follow the harrowing lives of five women living under dictatorship. Bonded as cantoras , or “women who sing” (a coded term for lesbians at the time), Flaca, Romina, Anita, Malena, and Paz escape the oppression of their country’s new regime and enjoy freedom at Cabos Polonio, a little known beach. Flaca is a risk taker who bucks tradition,Paz, a 16-year-old romantic just discovering who she is,Romina, a revolutionary who continues to fight despite punishment,Malena, a mysterious one hiding a dark past,and Anita, a beautiful housewife with dreams beyond her marriage. Back home in Montevideo, people disappear and women are raped, but in Polonio, relationships and romance flourish. Over the course of 35 years, these friends and lovers form a makeshift family as they struggle to find their place and awake to their true desires. After the dissolution of the civic-military dictatorship in 1985, formerly forbidden romances are allowed to take root and the characters learn how to live under democracy. De Robertis does a fine job of probing the harsh realities of what it takes to carve out a life of freedom under an oppressive government. "
