Mañana Seguiré Viva / Tomorrow I Will Still Be Alive

Linda Rams vive en Capri retirada de la vida p blica. Quedan lejos los d as en que los focos y los flashes deslumbraban a ese mito de la poca dorada del cine. En la terraza de la suite del hotel en el que se aloja, junto a su amigo Lorenzo Belmonte --el periodista que pas su vida desgranando sus an cdotas hasta trabar con ella una amistad inquebrantable--, la actriz recuerda las heridas que marcaron su juventud, las pel culas y el brillo que la convirtieron en una leyenda, los amores frustrados, la relaci n con su hija Silvia y las fisuras que la fama ocult durante demasiado tiempo.

Tras el esplendor de lo p blico, la historia de Linda Rams est atravesada por un r o torrencial, secreto y peligroso. Porque Ma ana seguir viva nos habla, con una gran sensibilidad y una prosa sugerente e hipn tica, sobre lo que nos contamos a nosotros mismos y lo que contamos a los dem s, sobre la complejidad del ser humano, que es uno hacia fuera, cuando los otros observan, y otro hacia dentro; sobre la maternidad y sus sombras, sobre la culpa, sobre lo que queremos esconder y lo que preferimos ignorar, y sobre las familias que se forman en ocasiones con aquellos con los que no nos unen lazos de sangre.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Freedom is therapeutic, and it consists of someone seeing the blood on your hands, understanding your pain, and dancing with you.

Linda Rams lives in Capri, retired from public life. Gone are the days when the spotlights and flashbulbs dazzled this legend of the golden age of cinema. On the terrace of the suite at the hotel where she is staying, alongside her friend Lorenzo Belmonte--the journalist who spent his life recounting her anecdotes until they formed an unbreakable friendship--the actress recalls the wounds that marked her youth, the films and the glamour that made her a legend, her frustrated loves, her relationship with her daughter Silvia, and the cracks that fame hid for too long.

Behind the splendor of public life, Linda Rams' story is traversed by a torrential, secret, and dangerous river. Because Tomorrow I Will Still Be Alive speaks to us, with great sensitivity and evocative, hypnotic prose, about what we tell ourselves and what we tell others, about the complexity of human beings, who are one thing on the outside, when others are watching, and another on the inside; about motherhood and its shadows, about guilt, about what we want to hide and what we prefer to ignore, and about the families that are sometimes formed with those with whom we have no blood ties.
