Desde Cualquier Punto de Vista "Desde Cualquier Punto de Vista" es una mirada audaz al Santiago de Chile en los anos 2002 al 2004. Con una prosa rapida, un constante cambio de narrador y una irreverencia que no se le conocia en textos anteriores, Biggs aborda los problemas de la vida cotidiana en una historia que pudo ser la suya. El relato central, es el de un ejecutivo exitoso (Carlos Sims) que estando en la cima de su carrera, enfrenta un sorpresivo despido, con todo lo que ello implica: perdida del automovil de la empresa, del chofer y de mil prebendas que creia que serian para siempre. El tema no es menor, cuando va acompanado del relato de personajes como el junior de la oficina, (Pablo Carreno), quien junto a su amigo Sebastian (con una ambiguedad sexual el primero y una abierta homosexualidad el segundo), organizan una Brigada de Asalto cuyo financiamiento en una primera etapa esta a cargo de una fabrica de condones que ellos mismos han montado. Personajes como la madre de Sebastian (Maria Elena Lillo) antigua combatiente del VOP, de la secretaria (Melinda) que es capaz de cualquier cosa con tal de no fallarle a su jefe, o del sub gerente (Claudio Valdes Fonk) quien con un calculo cinico y sin frontera aspira al cargo maximo, se armonizan en forma sinfonica con la suegra del protagonista, que es victima del terrible mal de Alzheimer, y de su esposa, una mujer "de clase" quien, desde su soledad pasiva, ve transformarse su entorno sin tener recursos ni respuestas para enfrentar el derrumbe del mundo en que crecio. La novela transcurre con una velocidad abismante con una serie de otros personajes tan reales como los que construye Biggs los que van relatando una historia lineal y transversal a la vez, desde su personal punto de vista. Desde Cualquier Punto de Vista (From Any Point of View) is an audacious look at Santiago de Chile in the years 2002 - 2004. With fast prose, a constant change of narrator and with an irreverence that we didn't see in his previous books, Biggs faces the problems of everyday life in a story that could be your own. The central plot involves a very successful executive (Carlos Sims) who, at the peak of his career, is unexpectedly fired, hence, facing all the losses-the company car, the chauffer, and thousands of other perks he thought would last forever. This theme is knit with the story of a sexually ambiguous junior executive (Pablo Carreno) and his homosexual friend Sebastian, who together decide to organize a Brigade of Assault, financed by a condom factory. The story is filled with rich characters like Sebastian's mother (Maria Elena Lillo), a former V. O.P. Militant (an armed leftist group in Chile during the sixties); Melinda, the secretary who is ready to do anything for her boss; or the assistant manager, (Claudio Valdes Fonk) who's trying to claw his way to the top of the Company with a lack of scruples and a cynical attitude. Woven into this rich tapestry is Carlos' mother-in-law, a victim of Alzheimer's; his wife, a woman "with class" who, from her passive loneliness, sees her world fall apart without having means or answers to face the destruction of the world she grew up in. Biggs has created a novel of breathless speed with a series of other characters that tell the story in a lineal and transversal way, from their own point of view." | Desde Cualquier Punto De Vista by Biggs Jorge Biggs, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
