Residency and Errancy: Migration Profiles in Karla Suárez’s La viajera
This novel represents emigration, a recurrent theme among contemporary Cuban women writers, in a way that juxtaposes conventional domesticity and nostalgia for the origins, as well as the legitimacy of general and postnational identities. Structured in Chinese boxes, the viajera narrates the cohabitation of dissimilar families in Rome and, by introducing Circe’s diary, it describes the itinerary, from Havana to Rome, from where she travels to Naxos.
Residenza e peregrinazione: profili di emigrazione in La viajera di Karla Suárez
Tema ricorrente tra le narratrici cubane di oggi, l’emigrazione trova in questo romanzo un modo ardito di contrapporre lo spazio domestico convenzionale e la nostalgia dell’origine, la legittimità di nuove identità generiche e postnazionali. La viajera, costruita alla maniera delle scatole cinesi, racconta dalla prospettiva più recente della protagonista divisa tra prologo ed epilogo, la convivenza di entrambi e delle loro famiglie dissimili a Roma, e introduce attraverso l’inserimento del diario di Circe, il suo lungo itinerario, dalla partenza dell'Avana fino all’ arrivo a Roma, da dove parte per Naxos.
