About the Book

Empieza como un sintoma de desinteres,

algo minusculo que despues se naturaliza

y ambos dejan de preguntarse como es

que siguen ahi, adobando la abulia frente

al otro, asintiendo a lo que dice como un tramite....

El matrimonio de Lucia y Pablo es un espejo de la sutil forma que puede llegar a cobrar la violencia cuando llega el fin del amor. Esta es la historia descarnada de ese tiempo muerto, de ese amplio y doloroso espacio que se abre, muchas veces de manera inexplicable, entre dos seres que se aman.

Novela sobre la descomposicion de todas las certezas en un mundo que ya nadie parece entender y donde la unica consigna vigente es la simulacion y la supervivencia, Tiempo muerto ahonda en una exploracion de asuntos que ya habian aparecido en libros anteriores de Garcia Robayo --la diaspora latinoamericana, la disolucion de las identidades nacionales, los clanes familiares, los conflictos raciales y de clase--, pero esta vez la escritura alcanza una intensidad nueva, un sereno y sofisticado clasicismo que abre puntos de fuga en la carrera de una autora a la que le sobran recursos y astucias. Este libro, ademas, confirma lo que ya muchos sabemos: Garcia Robayo ha venido construyendo una de las obras mas solidas e interesantes de la literatura latinoamericana.

MGR construye un edificio de insatisfaccion por momentos impiadoso, lleno de fastidio y perdida. Con un estilo contenido que emula una cuenta regresiva, Tiempo muerto es inteligente, aguda y esta marcada por el desasosiego.

Mariana Enriquez

mgr narra lo excepcional desde lo pequeno y en un tono unico, como si para mirar de frente a esas catastrofes hubiera que usar un aparato de baja definicion.

Revista N, Argentina

mgr deslumbra con una prosa minuciosa que escribe premiosa y concienzudamente, con la misma atencion con la que se puntea un intrincado extracto bancario.

El Cultural, Espana

Con un cinismo virulento y nihilista que casi no deja titere con cabeza, mgr descompone los lugares comunes de la novela de iniciacion y de la emigracion latina.

Revista Inrockuptibles

Uno de los rasgos que caracterizan la escritura de mgr es la ausencia de las palabras que no sirven para nada.

ABC, Espana.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Dead Time is a portrait of the personal tragedy experienced by Lucia and Pablo, a couple whose marriage has arrived at the end of being in love.

It starts as a symptom of indifference, something trivial that later becomes natural and both people stop asking themselves how they ended up here, dressing up apathy in front of the other, agreeing to what the other says like a chore...

Lucia and Pablos marriage is a mirror of the subtle way that violence can end up developing when love ends. This is the stark story of that dead time, that wide, painful space that opens up, many times inexplicably, between two people who love each other.
