Description:
Desde Cualquier Punto de Vista "Desde Cualquier Punto de Vista" es una mirada audaz a Santiago de Chile. Con una prosa rápida, un constante cambio de narrador y una irreverencia que no se le conocía en textos anteriores, Biggs aborda los problemas de la vida cotidiana en una historia que pudo ser la suya. El relato central, es el de un ejecutivo exitoso (Carlos Sims) que estando en la cima de su carrera, enfrenta un sorpresivo despido, con todo lo que ello implica: pérdida del automóvil de la empresa, del chofer y de mil prebendas que creía que serían para siempre. El tema no es menor, cuando va acompañado del relato de personajes como el junior de la oficina, (Pablo Carreño), quien junto a su amigo Sebastián (con una ambigüedad sexual el primero y una abierta homosexualidad el segundo), organizan una Brigada de Asalto cuyo financiamiento en una primera etapa está a cargo de una fábrica de condones que ellos mismos han montado. Personajes como la madre de Sebastián (María Elena Lillo) antigua combatiente del VOP, de la secretaria (Melinda) que es capaz de cualquier cosa con tal de no fallarle a su jefe, o del sub gerente (Claudio Valdés Fonk) quien con un cálculo cínico y sin frontera aspira al cargo máximo, se armonizan en forma sinfónica con la suegra del protagonista, que es víctima del terrible mal de Alzheimer, y de su esposa, una mujer "de clase" quien, desde su soledad pasiva, ve transformarse su entorno sin tener recursos ni respuestas para enfrentar el derrumbe del mundo en que creció. La novela transcurre con una velocidad abismante con una serie de otros personajes tan reales como los que construye Biggs los que van relatando una historia lineal y transversal a la vez, desde su personal punto de vista. Desde Cualquier Punto de Vista (From Any Point of View) is an audacious look at Santiago de Chile. With fast prose, a constant change of narrator and with an irreverence that we didn't see in his previous books, Biggs faces the problems of everyday life in a story that could be your own. The central plot involves a very successful executive (Carlos Sims) who, at the peak of his career, is unexpectedly fired, hence, facing all the losses-the company car, the chauffer, and thousands of other perks he thought would last forever. This theme is knit with the story of a sexually ambiguous junior executive (Pablo Carreño) and his homosexual friend Sebastián, who together decide to organize a Brigade of Assault, financed by a condom factory. The story is filled with rich characters like Sebastián's mother (María Elena Lillo), a former V.O.P. Militant (an armed leftist group in Chile during the sixties); Melinda, the secretary who is ready to do anything for her boss; or the assistant manager, (Claudio Valdés Fonk) who's trying to claw his way to the top of the Company with a lack of scruples and a cynical attitude. Woven into this rich tapestry is Carlos' mother-in-law, a victim of Alzheimer's; his wife, a woman "with class" who, from her passive loneliness, sees her world fall apart without having means or answers to face the destruction of the world she grew up in. Biggs has created a novel of breathless speed with a series of other characters that tell the story in a lineal and transversal way, from their own point of view.
