About the Book

Descubriendo a Omar es una novela que nos presenta, a través de sus 14 capítulos, que ninguna dicotomía es arbitraria. Esta ágil y entretenida novela nos muestra la vida de Omar, un atractivo profesor de Educación Física que, pese a tener una vida bastante normal (un buen trabajo, una novia y una familia), posee una adicción particular: brindar placer. A lo largo de las páginas vamos descubriendo a un personaje que, en un primer momento, está seguro de quién es, pero a lo largo de la trama, se va llenando de cuestionamientos que socavan todas sus premisas. Partiendo de la idea de Michel Foucault, concretamente de su obra "Historia de la sexualidad", de que los mecanismos de poder se dirigen al sexo, al cuerpo y a la vida, "Descubriendo a Omar", propone en su trama, mostrar como estos mecanismos actúan a través del estereotipo de la masculinidad, (y en cierta manera de la femineidad, la peluquería como escenario en esta novela es un símbolo grandilocuente de esta constante) y a su vez contradecir los esquemas binaristas de la sexualidad. (La relación entre Omar Santibañez y Mateo Dabenne y la relación entre Eugenia y Alicia son sintomáticas en este sentido). Desde un narrador de tipo diegético, con un dominio parcial de los planos narrativos, la historia se va construyendo con rapidez y refinamiento creando una atmósfera emocional bastante lograda a lo largo de toda la novela. El plan macabro de la madre del protagonista, Amanda Goic y la complicidad de su amiga y socia Yolanda Barrera permite que emerja el drama del personaje central, Omar Santibañez quien se debate en los límites mismos de la identidad masculina. Situación de la madre que lo obligó a cambiar el curso de vida, abandonado su compromiso de matrimonio con Anriette y su campo laboral como profesor de educación física en un liceo de Providencia. La misma Discoteque Fausto, el lugar prohibido e interdicto para todos, será el escenario donde carnavalescamente madre e hijo se verán desnudos y enfrentados a la realidad profunda de cada uno y donde la mecánica de la simulación cesará finalmente para ambos. (Omar negó sistemáticamente frente a su madre su condición de scort). Ambos fueron finalmente víctimas de la misma mecánica. El inconsciente, la represión, el deseo, el Edipo, podrían ser también señalados en la conformación del sujeto que está detrás del personaje de Omar Sàntibañez, ciertas formas dialécticas de poder enmascaradas bajo el amor opresivo son también rasgos de la madre del protagonista, pero reducir la lectura de esta novela bajo una óptica psicocrítica sea negarle el valor estético y estructural que posee. También no sería justo no situar a nuestro joven autor en la línea de escritores chilenos como Pablo Simonetti, Carlos Iturra y Mauricio Wacquez. "Descubriendo a Omar", es en suma una novela que logra captar la atención del lector, y una reivindicación más de una literatura de género, pero a la vez es una crítica a las convenciones históricas, a los parámetros y a los estereotipos masculinos impuestos por una sociedad de consumo.
About the Author: Adolfo Silva Reyes nació el 15 de Agosto de 1978 en Comuna de Quinta Normal, Santiago de Chile. Estudió Ventas y Publicidad, área en la cual nunca ejerció. Histriónico, creador de personajes y divertido. Nunca participó en talleres de escritura y el desarrollo de su propio estilo ha sido innato, por lo que se define como un autor atodidacta. "Descubriendo a Omar", publicada por Mago Editores (2015), fue su primera novela, reeditada posteriormente y en una segunda edición, por Editorial Alvi Books en 2017. Anteriormente había autopublicado "Versos dedicados" (2004), "Confesiones, mi alma se refleja" (2008), "Padre estás en el cielo" (2013) o "La Mami Celia" (2013); le siguieron las publicaciones "Mis versos, mi historia", Editorial Escritores Cl (2014) o "Rosa de Siete Pétalos", Mago Editores (2016), obras que en general muestran aspectos diversos de la biografía emocional de este joven autor.
