Personaje secundario

A woman wonders if it wouldn't have been better not to be a mother; a pair of teachers compete and support each other with equal intensity; two teenagers search for ways to escape their fate; a group of friends in Madrid become obsessed with the fact that one of them has decided to have a child with a guy she met on Tinder. Secondary Character masterfully composes a bestiary of women to delve into what it means to live burdened by a dense, complex, and saturated inner world that imposes itself on the moods of its characters like a dark force. The women in these stories orbit around their men, look the other way, and try to keep their own inner noise at bay, to silence the things they know about themselves; they carry a monster that threatens to devour them. Each story delves into fiction to explore the feminine well that Natalia Ginzburg spoke of and, with an internal tension, particular and exclusively feminine, constructs a system for thinking about what it means today to be a woman and to exist in the world.
