Synopsis "Here in Berlin: A Novel "

Long-listed for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice "Here in Berlin is one of the most interesting new works of fiction I've read . . . The voices are remarkably distinct, and even with their linguistic mannerisms . . . mark them out as separate people . . . [This novel] is simply very, very good." ―The New York Times Book Review Here in Berlin is a portrait of a city through snapshots, an excavation of the stories and ghosts of contemporary Berlin―its complex, troubled past still pulsing in the air as it was during World War II. Critically acclaimed novelist Cristina García brings the people of this famed city to life, their stories bristling with regret, desire, and longing. An unnamed Visitor travels to Berlin with a camera looking for reckonings of her own. The city itself is a character―vibrant and postapocalyptic, flat and featureless except for its rivers, its lakes, its legions of bicyclists. Here in Berlin she encounters a people's history: the Cuban teen taken as a POW on a German submarine only to return home to a family who doesn't believe him; the young Jewish scholar hidden in a sarcophagus until safe passage to England is found; the female lawyer haunted by a childhood of deprivation in the bombed-out suburbs of Berlin who still defends those accused of war crimes; a young nurse with a checkered past who joins the Reich at a medical facility more intent to dispense with the wounded than to heal them; and the son of a zookeeper at the Berlin Zoo, fighting to keep the animals safe from both war and an increasingly starving populace. A meditation on war and mystery, this an exciting new work by one of our most gifted novelists, one that seeks to align the stories of the past with the stories of the future.

Cristina García Rodero (nacida en Puertollano, Ciudad Real, en 1949) es una de las fotógrafas españolas más reconocidas internacionalmente. Se formó en Bellas Artes en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, inicialmente con pintura, aunque pronto su trayectoria se orientó hacia la fotografía documental y de reportaje. Su enfoque principal se centró en capturar costumbres, festividades, rituales y tradiciones populares tanto en España como en diversos países del mundo.

Su obra pionera, entre las más célebres, es el libro España Oculta (1989), resultado de años de trabajo sobre las fiestas y ritos populares de la España rural y que la lanzó a la primera plana del reconocimiento artístico. Posteriormente amplió su interés hacia tradiciones en lugares como Haití, India o Etiopía, siempre desde una mirada profundamente humana, sensible y respetuosa.

García Rodero se distingue por una mirada que conjuga lo estético con lo antropológico: sus imágenes no solo documentan, sino que transmiten emoción, memoria e identidad colectiva. Fue la primera fotógrafa española en formar parte de la agencia Magnum Photos (a partir de 2005, miembro pleno en 2009), lo que subraya su relevancia en el ámbito internacional.

Ha recibido numerosos premios y distinciones a lo largo de su carrera, como el Premio Nacional de Fotografía de España (1996) y la Medalla de Oro al Mérito en las Bellas Artes (2005). Su legado ha sido clave en la evolución de la fotografía documental en España, influyendo a generaciones nuevas de artistas visuales.
