???Hay una notable precisi???n verbal y conceptual en los textos de Mar???a Sonia Cristoff. La justeza infalible que encuentran las palabras, tanto en sus cr???nicas como en sus novelas, parece suscitada por la nitidez de sus ideas, aunque a la vez parece suscitarla???. --Mart???n Kohan, Clar???n Una carta sorprende a Lucrecia. Entre frases iracundas contra el trabajo y el mito del progreso, Vita, su t???a reci???n fallecida, encript??? el mapa de un tesoro enterrado en medio de La Pampa. Poco a poco, esa voz y la sucesi???n de acontecimientos descabellados que desencadena trastocan sus costumbres mundanas y su f???rrea disciplina laboral. Ir???nica y corrosiva, sin perder el sentido del humor ni por un instante, Cristoff revela el extractivismo vital que subyace a tantas pr???cticas contempor???neas. Del mail a la autobiograf???a, de la cr???nica de viajes al retrato y el telegrama, del teatro al cancionero anarquista, la novela se va armando en una superposici???n de personajes, formatos y g???neros, al modo de los n???meros de las ferias o los circos ambulantes. Preciosamente escrita, Derroche es una brillante s???tira social que homenajea a la picaresca y convoca a una fiesta de los insurrectos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ??? There is a significant verbal and conceptual precision in Mar???a Sonia Cristoff's texts. The infallible fairness that words find in both her chronicles and her novels seems sparked by the clarity of her ideas, though they seem to provoke it at the same time. ??? --Mart???n Kohan, Clar???n A letter takes Lucrecia by surprise. Between raging lines against work and the myth of progress, Vita, her recently deceased aunt, has encrypted the map of a treasure hidden in the heart of La Pampa. Little by little, that voice and the series of outlandish events it triggers alter her mundane customs and ironclad work discipline. Sarcastic and corrosive, while keeping her sense of humor at all times, Cristoff reveals the vital extractivism that underlies so many contemporary practices. From e-mail to autobiography, from travel chronicle to portrait and telegram, from drama to anarchist songbook, the novel builds up on a superimposition of characters, formats, and genres, in the manner of a carnival show or a traveling circus. Beautifully written, Splurge is a brilliant social satire that pays homage to the picaresque and convenes a gathering of insurgents.
