Tijdens een korte vakantie op Vlieland, in de nabijheid van de Rode Kabouter, de kortste vuurtoren van de Wadden, las ik Vuurtorenberichten. Een geweldig fijn boekje van Yazmina Barrera. Het telt zo’n 180 bladzijden en zes hoofdstukken, waarbij in elk hoofdstuk één vuurtoren centraal staat. Maar toen ik het nog eens goed gelezen had, zag ik dat het eigenlijk niet eens over vuurtorens gaat. Het gaat over heel wat anders. Over het belang van ervaringen. rel="nofollow" target="_top">https://www.rizoomes.nl/literatuur/vuurtorenberichten-een-boekrecensie/… (altro)

Definiría este libro con una única palabra: destellos. Destellos de un viaje, de una vida, detalles insignificantes que se transforman en algo enorme. Un diario de viajes, anécdotas y datos relevantes perfectamente unidos y con una prosa que me ha encantado descubrir, muy delicada y que tan pronto puede encadenar una narración de datos técnicos como un párrafo que te dispara directamente a lo más profundo de tus sentimientos.

This little book of essays reviews the history of lighthouses, and the authors interest in the subject. Lighthouses seem to be a metaphor for isolation and connection. The book was written in Spanish, and translated by Christina McSweeney. The subject is quirky, and the writing quite literary.

Here is an example of the writing:

"I wonder how far I'd have to go to hear silence. Or at least, some form of silence, because at sea there are always waves, in the countryside there are the sounds of the wind and animals. And wherever I am there will be my respiration, my heart. When it occurs to me that there isn't a single place or moment in which you can hear (or rather not hear) absolute silence, I experience a sense of anguish. Perhaps silence can be found in anechoic chambers, which absorb sound waves, or in outer space, or in death."… (altro)

Very similar in tone and style to Barrera's On Lighthouses. More a selection of thoughts, anecdotes, worries than an actual essay. I find her style very relaxing and calm, even when about earthquakes.

I do think that this is very much a book written for women, mothers, sisters, and also fathers. I enjoyed it, but it's definitely not for everyone.
