Una joya inédita del Premio Nobel Günter Grass en el décimo aniversario de su fallecimiento. La estatua, descubierta en un cajón polvoriento, ha causado «un pequeño revuelo literario». (Schwäbische)

«Entre los inmortales».--Salman Rushdie, The New Yorker

«Una escritura exquisita». --The New York Review of Books

Cuando le preguntaron con qué mujer de la historia del arte le gustaría cenar, Umberto Eco contestó sin dudar Uta de Naumburgo, considerada durante siglos la mujer más bella de la Edad Media y acusada de brujería durante su corta vida.

En una gira de lecturas por la antigua RDA a finales de los años ochenta, Grass ve la estatua de Uta por primera vez en la catedral de Naumburgo, hoy Patrimonio de la Unesco, y queda embobado por su belleza y realismo. Su figura, idealizada por el nazismo e inspiración para que Walt Disney creara la madrastra de Blancanieves, se caracteriza por un gesto único para el siglo XIII: con la mano derecha levanta el cuello de su preciosa túnica con un aire de misterio, casi como para ocultarse de alguien.

Grass recurre en este libro al tradicional recurso del convidado de piedra invitando a cenar en su jardín a la hija de un orfebre que hizo de modelo para la estatua. Sin embargo, en un atrevido salto en el tiempo, Uta sigue apareciéndose en más ciudades durante sus viajes, sorprendiendo al narrador enamorado, que la busca por todas partes, y convirtiendo sus siguientes giras en un verdadero desastre, hasta la caída del Muro y sus consecuencias.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A newly discovered and translated jewel of a story from the Nobel laureate, now published for the ten-year anniversary of his death.

At the end of the 1980s, a writer on a book tour, who very much resembles Grass, passes through East Germany and visits the Cathedral of Naumburg with its famous twelve donor statues. He invites the sculptor's models to dinner―and they come, not as ghosts, but as they were when alive in the thirteenth century. Toward the end of dinner, after drinking an icy Coca-Cola, the model for the famed beauty Uta von Naumburg declares she has to go to work: a living statue.

As he continues touring around Europe, the writer looks for Uta and her donation basket outside every cathedral he passes. At last, in Frankfurt, he sees her in front of Deutsche Bank and the two have a meeting with staggering consequences. As Grass said, "on paper everything is possible," and in this tale he gleefully erases the line between life and death, present and past.
