Primeras memorias en España de una mujer de la generación Z que a los 19 años ya es un referente de la poesía y del activismo.

«Yo creo -escribe Elizabeth Duval en Reina - que estaba enamorada de ella porque era como un personaje novelesco, una gran aparición del azar, una fuerza sin rumbo ni dirección alguna. Aunque a lo largo de la historia el dilema entre la escritura o la vida ha influido en numerosas obras, lo cierto es que la respuesta más sensata siempre estuvo a la vista de todo el mundo, tal y como podemos deducir con la lectura de este libro: la literatura y la vida.

Estudiante en París de Filosofía y Letras Modernas, la escritora y activista Elizabeth Duval (Alcalá de Henares, 2000) inicia un diario que inevitablemente acaba transformando su realidad, mediada por una especie de concepción novelesca de la propia existencia.

Con un talento excepcional para hacer dialogar su prosa con la historia de las ideas, proponiendo así un interesante dispositivo de estimulación intelectual, a lo largo de Reina circulan numerosos asuntos que zigzaguean entre las esferas de lo público y lo privado. Entre sus temas destacan la vida universitaria como iniciación a la madurez, la política bajo el capitalismo tardío, o el amor postadolescente desde una óptica que desborda todas nuestras expectativas sobre el asunto y lo sublima en una reflexión sobre los afectos y el deseo tan universal como radicalmente nueva.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

First account in Spain of a Generation Z woman who at 19 years old is already a model of poetry and activism.

"I think," writes Elizabeth Duval in Queen, "that I was in love with her because she was like a fictional character, a great appearance of chance, a force without direction or course." Although throughout history the dilemma between writing or life has influenced numerous works, the truth is that the most sensible answer was always there for everyone to see, as we can deduct from reading this book: literature and life.

As a student of Modern Philosophy and Literature in Paris, the writer and activist Elizabeth Duval (Alcalá de Henares, 2000) starts a diary that inevitably ends up transforming her reality, mediated by a kind of fictional conception of her own existence.

With an exceptional talent to make her prose converse with the history of ideas, thus proposing an interesting device for intellectual stimulation, throughout Queen numerous issues circulate that zigzag between public and private spheres. Among its themes, the following stand out: university life as an initiation to maturity, politics under late capitalism, and post-adolescent love from a perspective that goes beyond all our expectations on the subject and sublimates it in a reflection on affections and desire as universal as radically new.
