«Hay una notable precisión verbal y conceptual en los textos de María Sonia Cristoff. La justeza infalible que encuentran las palabras, tanto en sus crónicas como en sus novelas, parece suscitada por la nitidez de sus ideas, aunque a la vez parece suscitarla . --Martín Kohan, Clarín

Una carta sorprende a Lucrecia. Entre frases iracundas contra el trabajo y el mito del progreso, Vita, su tía recién fallecida, encriptó el mapa de un tesoro enterrado en medio de La Pampa. Poco a poco, esa voz y la sucesión de acontecimientos descabellados que desencadena trastocan sus costumbres mundanas y su férrea disciplina laboral.

Irónica y corrosiva, sin perder el sentido del humor ni por un instante, Cristoff revela el extractivismo vital que subyace a tantas prácticas contemporáneas. Del mail a la autobiografía, de la crónica de viajes al retrato y el telegrama, del teatro al cancionero anarquista, la novela se va armando en una superposición de personajes, formatos y géneros, al modo de los números de las ferias o los circos ambulantes.

Preciosamente escrita, Derroche es una brillante sátira 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 María 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. --Martín Kohan, Clarín

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.
