- El hombre que movía las nubes : memorias / by Rojas Contreras, Ingrid,author.(CARDINAL)355775; Guhl, Mercedes,translator.(CARDINAL)431837;
"For Ingrid Rojas Contreras, magic runs in the family. Growing up in the Colombia of the 1980s and 1990s in a house where "what did you dream?" was asked in place of "how are you?" her world was laced with prophecy and violence. Her maternal grandfather, Nono, was a renowned curandero, a community healer gifted with the ability to talk to the dead, tell the future, treat the sick, and move the clouds. As a young girl, Rojas Contreras eavesdropped on her mother's fortune-telling business from the stairs and waited eagerly for the moments when Mami appeared in two places at once. She was accustomed to "letting the ghosts in." So when Ingrid, now living in the U.S., suffered a head injury in her 20s that left her with amnesia-an accident eerily similar to a fall that had put her mother in a coma at the age of 8, from which she woke with not just amnesia, but the ability to see ghosts--the family assumes "the secrets" have finally been passed down to the next generation. But as Ingrid recovers her memories, they don't come with supernatural abilities. Rather, she is consumed by a powerful urge to learn even more about her heritage than she knew before the accident. Spurred by a shared dream among Mami and her sisters, wherein Nono communicates that he is unable to rest peacefully in the afterlife, Ingrid joins her mother on a journey home to Colombia to disinter her grandfather's remains. With her mother as her unpredictable, stubborn and often hilarious guide, Ingrid traces her lineage back to her indigenous and Spanish roots, uncovering the violent and rigid colonial narrative that would eventually break her family into two camps: those who believe "the secrets" are a gift, and those who are convinced they are a curse. Interweaving family stories more enchanting than any novel, resurrected Colombian history, and her own deeply personal reckonings with the bounds of reality, Rojas Contreras writes her way through the incomprehensible and into her inheritance. The result is a luminous testament to the power of storytelling as a healing art and an invitation to embrace the extraordinary"--"Para Ingrid Rojas Contreras, la magia viene de familia. Al crecer en la Colombia de los años 80 y 90 en una casa donde se preguntaba "¿qué soñaste?" en lugar de "¿cómo estás?", su mundo estaba lleno de profecías. y la violencia. Su abuelo materno, Nono, era un renombrado curandero, un curandero comunitario dotado de la habilidad de hablar con los muertos, predecir el futuro, tratar a los enfermos y mover las nubes. Cuando era niña, Rojas Contreras la escuchaba a escondidas. El negocio de adivinación de su madre desde las escaleras y esperó ansiosamente los momentos en que Mami apareció en dos lugares a la vez. , de la que se despertó no solo con amnesia, sino también con la capacidad de ver fantasmas: la familia asume que "los secretos" finalmente se han transmitido a la siguiente generación. Pero a medida que Ingrid recupera sus recuerdos, estos no vienen con habilidades sobrenaturales Más bien, ella está consumida por un poderoso impulso de aprender aún más sobre su herencia de lo que sabía antes del accidente. Impulsada por un sueño compartido entre Mami y sus hermanas, en el que Nono comunica que no puede descansar en paz en el más allá, Ingrid se une a su madre en un viaje a casa en Colombia para desenterrar los restos de su abuelo. Con su madre como su guía impredecible, obstinada y a menudo hilarante, Ingrid rastrea su linaje hasta sus raíces indígenas y españolas, descubriendo la narrativa colonial violenta y rígida que eventualmente dividiría a su familia en dos bandos: aquellos que creen que "los secretos" son un regalo, y los que están convencidos de que son una maldición. Entrelazando historias familiares más encantadoras que cualquier novela, la historia colombiana resucitada y sus propios y profundos ajustes personales con los límites de la realidad, Rojas Contreras escribe su camino a través de lo incomprensible y hacia su herencia. El resultado es un testimonio luminoso del poder de la narración como arte curativo y una invitación a abrazar lo extraordinario"--- Subjects: Autobiographies.; Autobiografías.; Rojas Contreras, Ingrid.; Rojas Contreras, Ingrid; Rojas Contreras, Ingrid; Rojas Contreras, Ingrid; Rojas Contreras, Ingrid; Hispanic American authors; Autores hispanoamericanos; Madres y hijas; Abuelos (Hombres); Curanderos; Colombian Americans; Colombianos Americanos;
