THE DELTA FUNCTION – Rosa Montero / Flashes of humor and poetry, against a flat background.

Exploring the dualities of female life.

Talk about seafood in Madrid? Although it might sound strange, this is a tradition that you should never be missed! “Bocadillo de Calamares en Plaza Mayor”, a place that it’s full of small, family run seafood bars. They offer cheap calamari sandwiches every day. You can go to “La Campana” (Calle de las Botoneras, 6) https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-campana-madrid-2 the place it’s delicious and the fried calamars so tender and well seasoned. Of course, a writer who was born in this city are used to eating fried calamari.

She was born into a January day, 1951, in Madrid. That daughter of a bullfighter and a housewife, in Madrid she entered the Beatriz Galindo Institute and began her university studies in Madrid’s School of Philosophy and Arts. Acclaimed (as both a journalist and a novelist), she has been able to create incredible narratives and fascinating interviews. ROSA MONTERO http://www.rosamontero.es/index.html currently works for El País, her novel (The Delta Function) has been regarded as a brillant work of contemporary feminist thought. Her later novel (The Lunatic of the House), won both for best book published in Spain and the Italian Grinzane Cavour Prize (for best foreign book).

Also translated into English, the novel explores a woman’s fears of being abandoned and dying. You to will be inspired to confront and rethink their own version of the world around them. In The Delta Function (her second novel), the real world is as unmapped for her countrywomen, while universal concerns impinge. A double narrative structure throws into relief time’s effect on her self-identity and relations with others. The novel’s hospital nurses become allegorical figures, with religious overtones, of life and death. The double diary and the imagined terminal illness, this is how the writer distances herself from her own celebrity and success. The final chapter (set on Easter Sunday), fuses both diaries in a time outside of time, where life and death commingle.
