Much to be said about this novel. It almost had a good ending, but like many horror movies of today, Ararat lost its cool at the end.
The book details the discovery of a ship in an impossible place. Narrative follows a large team of researchers, archaeologists, professors, and a documentary team all working together in the hopes of unwrapping the mystery of the ship.
Unfortunately, the characters feel very one dimensional and take their sweet time becoming likable. Not to mention with such a large swath of characters, it can get confusing. Some characters use last names and some use the first, and they are all interchangeable. I felt like I had to write it all down just to understand dialogue.
The book did have its positives, however! The scares cooked and simmered, and when things finally set off, I found myself voraciously devouring the story. There were elements of body horror and demonology and religious themes.
All in all, I would recommend this book if you see it at a library and are looking to expand your vocabulary. There were many fancy words that gave me joy to read and find context clues. The best place to read this is at home, in the cold and wet month of October.

Sobre cómo llegué al camino de la realización
Me gusta pensar que la realización siempre iba a ser mi Roma, y que todos los caminos me iban a llevar hasta allá, pero la verdad es que no fue tan así.
Foto de mi tío abuelo, manejando en la carretera hacia la cordillera. (RB Camus, Febrero 2024, Chile)
inicio contexto
Tuve la ¿alegría? de ser la última en nacer de nueve nietos, y eso hizo que pudiese participar de actividades de adolescentes a una edad muy temprana. Esta dinámica también estaba incluida en mi familia nuclear, mi hermano es diez años mayor, y por ende, pude participar tanto de su adolescencia como de la mía.
Mi hermano fue un niño/adolescente/adulto-joven con muchas herramientas para hacer las cosas que quería: teatro, películas, cortos, animación, esculturas, lo que estuviese disponible y la librería/papelería pudiese tener. También tenía amigos que hacían las mismas cosas, y que compartían espacios creativos con él.
Y, como buena hermana menor, yo estaba metiendo mi nariz en todo lo que pudiese.
fin contexto
Lamentablemente, cuando a mí me tocó ser adolescente, las cosas fueron muy distintas: era mujer y para mi familia extendida era complicado verme hacer cosas, y el grupo de amigos artistas era pequeño, y muchas veces menospreciado por dicha familia extendida.
Así que, a través de lo digital pude calmar las ganas de hacer arte, pero siempre en secreto. Y nuevamente, con mi familia extendida quejándose del tiempo que pasaba en el computador.
Lo bueno es que esto no me paró del todo. Si eres adolescente y estás leyendo esto -y te estás viendo reflejada en esto- no dejes que tu familia extendida te pare, miente si es necesario, e inventa hobbies piadosos. Sé inteligente, sé una buena mentirosa, yo te doy permiso.
En eso, sacaba fotos a rollo con cámaras de plástico, robaba libros que no me podían/querían comprar de la biblioteca de mi colegio y de casas a las que nunca iba a volver -así terminé leyendo a Lutero a los 10 años, malísima experiencia-, y me vestía con lo que me llegaba desde Tumblr y Lookbook.nu.
Decidí que a pesar de las fotos, y a pesar de todo lo que me rodeaba y me certificaba como persona que se iba a dedicar al arte, que iba a estudiar Antropología. Tenía curiosidad, quería ser alguien, y quería por sobre todas las cosas entender por qué me había tocado esta vida.
fast forward
Sí, obvio que no les voy a contar todo lo que hice desde la adolescencia hasta la universidad, son más o menos diez años que no voy a comprimir acá.
Cuando tenía 22 años recibí el llamado de atención de una de las adolescentes con las que me crié, Carolina. No era posible que yo no estuviese haciendo arte. Y a pesar de que en ese momento no le quise creer, y por supuesto no le quise escuchar, creo que es una de las conversaciones más importantes que he tenido en mi vida.
Después de irme de su departamento llegué a mirar el techo de mi pieza, hasta el otro día. Y empecé a sacar mi cámara nuevamente a la calle, y a sacar fotos de lo que se me cruzara.
A los 26 años me di cuenta que quería escuchar completamente lo que Carolina me había dicho, y pedí una señal. Dos semanas después estaba inscribiéndome en el Curso de Introducción al Guión de Gonzalo Maza, y unas semanas después comprando mi primera cámara digital.
A los 27 me di cuenta que quería mezclar mi pregrado con el hacer historias, y que no quería que todo se quedara en fotos para alguien más, o las mismas repeticiones de fotos de mis futuros sobrinos, como mi mamá lo había hecho. Busqué exhaustivamente en donde postular, y llegué a la respuesta del Magíster en Cine Documental de la Universidad de Chile.
El proceso fue largo, tuve que presentar un anteproyecto documental, además de una carta de motivación y una entrevista con profesores del programa. En mi caso fueron Ignacio Agüero y Luis Horta.
Mi entrevista fue corta, y el 80% hablé sobre la subjetividad femenina en la imagen a través de Joan Didion. Por unos días pensé que no iba a quedar, hasta que el 5 de diciembre del 2023 recibí mi carta de aceptación.
Lo dem��s es historia haciéndose a sí misma, así que si siguen interesados en saber más ¡lean más! que yo voy a seguir posteando.
eso,
besitos R.B. Camus
