About the Book

Por el autor del Premio Alfaguara 2019

Patricio Pron regresa al relato breve para dar otra lección de sobriedad, ironía, originalidad y elegancia. Lo que está y no se usa nos fulminará hace lo que todo libro debería hacer (pero casi nunca logra): llevarte a un lugar del que desearías no tener que regresar nunca.

Dos escritores se ponen de acuerdo para escribir la «autobiografía» del otro y una lectora se obsesiona con ambos o solo con uno de ellos. Un hombre redacta mentalmente su perfil de Tinder mientras una niña le habla de la muerte y los horribles secretos que se cuentan las cosas. El «gran poeta chileno» destroza una habitación de hotel en Alemania y ofrece a su interlocutor una lección de vida. Un escritor llamado «Patricio Pron» contrata a un puñado de actores para que «hagan de Patricio Pron», con los resultados catastróficos que eran de esperar.

Los personajes de Lo que está y no se usa nos fulminará tienen un vislumbre de lo que una vida mejor podría ser, y su intensidad los encandila. Vulnerables, perplejos, ridículos, sabios, todos vuelven una y otra vez sobre las posibilidades intuidas en esa visión, convencidos de que si no las aprovechan estarán perdidos: lo que encuentran al hacerlo es el azar, las vidas de los escritores como espejos deformantes, la ocasión de hacer de su vida una obra de arte, la necesidad de desaparecer, de dejarlo todo atrás para ser uno con la literatura.

«Patricio Pron escribe con inteligencia, talento, irreverencia, humor, voluntad política y autoridad.»

Stavanger Aftenblad

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

By the Author of the 2019 Alfaguara Prize

Two writers agree to each write the "autobiography" of the other, and a reader becomes obsessed with one or both of them. A man mentally composes his Tinder profile while a little girl talks to him about death and the horrible secrets that things tell. The "Great Chilean Poet" destroys a German hotel room and offers his spokesperson a life lesson. A writer named "Patricio Pron" hires a handful of actors to "play Patricio Pron," with predictably catastrophic results.

The characters in What Lies Unused Will Vanquish Us have a glimpse of a better life, and its intensity dazzles them. Vulnerable, perplexed, ridiculous, and wise, they all return repeatedly to the possibilities hinted at in that vision, convinced that if they don't take advantage of them, they will be lost: what they find, though, is chance, the lives of writers as funhouse mirrors, the chance to turn their lives into works of art, the need to disappear, to leave it all behind to be one with literature.
