Historias, recetas y cosos para orbitar la felicidad.
Hay un mundo donde una camiseta del Che y otra de Evita y otra de Ringo Starr debaten sobre el deseo y el disfrute, y un oficial principal retirado reflexiona sobre Jorge Luis Borges, y una polit�loga ofrece una clase de relajaci�n corporal con conciencia hist�rica, y hay un cuarto rey mago reconocido por un club llamado Biblia Per�n!, y un estudio revela c�mo los cantos de la hinchada de El Porvenir, en el sur del conurbano, diferencian conceptos con la precisi�n de un cirujano. Es un mundo probablemente feliz. Y es el mundo de este texto.
Una cajita feliz que habla, y no trae hamburguesa, y tiene una capacidad de expresi�n aguda y elocuencia brillante es uno de los momentos claves de esta veintena de cuentos con la potente marca registrada del autor: la risa y las ideas, de la mano. El desfile de escenarios y personajes fuera de serie es incesante: de las habilidades de un personal trainer que ense�a a soportar la felicidad de los dem�s a un parque de diversiones de suspensi�n de conciencia y una brigada de aviones que fumigan con culpa. El ritmo es veloz y encantador. Como siempre. As� es Una historia de la felicidad, el nuevo libro de Pedro Saborido.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Stories, recipes, and oddities to orbit happiness.
There is a world where a Che T-shirt, an Evita T-shirt, and a Ringo Starr T-shirt debate desire and enjoyment; where a retired chief officer reflects on Jorge Luis Borges; where a political scientist offers a relaxation class with historical awareness; where a fourth wise man is recognized by a club called "Biblia Per�n"; and where a study reveals how the chants of El Porvenir's fans in southern Buenos Aires distinguish concepts with surgical precision. It is a probably happy world. And it is the world of this book.
A talking Happy Meal box--without a hamburger--sharp in expression and brilliantly eloquent, is one of the key moments in this collection of twenty stories marked by the author's trademark style: laughter and ideas, hand in hand. The parade of extraordinary settings and characters is relentless: from the skills of a personal trainer who teaches how to endure other people's happiness, to an amusement park of suspended consciousness, and a squadron of planes spraying guilt. The pace is fast and delightful. As always. This is Una historia de la felicidad, the new book by Pedro Saborido.
Saborido, Pedro: -
Hijo de Mecha y Pedro, hermano de Guillermo, Pedro Saborido vivió su infancia y adolescencia en Gerli. Se recibió de técnico electrónico en el Palaá de Avellaneda, la misma ciudad donde estudió cine y pasó gran parte de su vida. Fue asistente de sonido en películas como Los chicos de la guerra y Esperando la carroza.
A fines de los años 80 se dedicó al humor político junto con Omar Quiroga en Radio Mitre y FM100. Luego ambos pasarían a la televisión para guionar a Tato Bores. Después vendrían otros ciclos, como Magazine For Fai, Delikatessen y Todo x 2 pesos. Desde 2006 junto con Diego Capusotto hace el programa Peter Capusotto y sus videos, que en algún momento tuvo su prolongación en radio, libros y hasta una película en 3D. Ganó varios Martín Fierro, algunos premios Clarín y un Konex. Desde 1993 está de novio con Marlene. Con ella tiene dos hijos, Dante y Sofía. Es muy hincha de Racing, aunque reconoce que sabe muy poco de fútbol.
Son of Mecha and Pedro, brother of Guillermo, Pedro Saborido spent his childhood and adolescence in Gerli. He graduated as an electronics technician in Palaá de Avellaneda, the same city where he studied film and spent much of his life. He worked as a sound assistant on films such as Los chicos de la guerra and Esperando la carroza.
In the late 1980s he devoted himself to political humor together with Omar Quiroga on Radio Mitre and FM100. Later, both moved to television to write scripts for Tato Bores. Other shows followed, such as Magazine For Fai, Delikatessen, and Todo x 2 pesos. Since 2006, together with Diego Capusotto, he has produced the program Peter Capusotto y sus videos, which at one point extended into radio, books, and even a 3D film. He has won several Martín Fierro awards, some Clarín prizes, and a Konex. Since 1993 he has been in a relationship with Marlene, with whom he has two children, Dante and Sofía. He is a big Racing fan, although he admits he knows very little about soccer.
