También esto pasará [This too shall pass]
by Milena BusquetsCuando era niña, para ayudarla a superar la muerte de su padre, a Blanca su madre le contó un cuento chino. Un cuento sobre un poderoso emperador que convocó a los sabios y les pidió una frase que sirviese para todas las situaciones posibles. Tras meses de deliberaciones, los sabios se presentaron ante el emperador con una propuesta: También esto pasará. Y la madre añadió: El dolor y la pena pasarán, como pasan la euforia y la felicidad. Ahora es la madre de Blanca quien ha muerto y esta novela, que arranca y se cierra en un cementerio, habla del dolor de la pérdida, del desgarro de la ausencia. Pero frente a este dolor queda el recuerdo de lo vivido y lo mucho aprendido, y cobra fuerza la reafirmación de la vida a través del sexo, las amigas, los hijos y los hombres que han sido y son importantes para Blanca, quien afirma: «La ligereza es una forma de elegancia. Vivir con ligereza y alegría es dificilísimo.» Esta y otras frases y el tono de la novela, tan ajena a cualquier concesión a lo convencional, evocan aquella Bonjour tristesse de Françoise Sagan, que encandiló a tantos (y escandalizó a no pocos) cuando se publicó en 1954. Todo ello en el transcurso de un verano en Cadaqués, con sus paisajes indómitos y su intensa luz mediterránea que lo baña todo. Milena Busquets transforma en literatura vivencias personales y partiendo de lo íntimo logra una novela que rompe fronteras y se está traduciendo con inusitada rapidez a las principales lenguas, como el inglés, el francés, el alemán, el italiano y el portugués. Y lo logra porque a través de la historia de Blanca y la enfermedad y muerte de su madre, a través de las relaciones con sus amantes y sus amigas, combinando prodigiosamente hondura y ligereza, nos habla de temas universales: el dolor y el amor, el miedo y el deseo, la tristeza y la risa, la desolación y la belleza de un paisaje en el que fugazmente se entrevé a la madre muerta paseando junto al mar, porque aquellos a quienes hemos amado no pueden desaparecer sin más.
