EL DEBUT NARRATIVO DE UNA POETA E ILUSTRADORA: DOS HERMANAS UNIDAS POR UN JUEGO, UN VOLCÁN Y UNA TRAGEDIA Todo empieza con un juego: algunas noches, en los diez minutos suspendidos antes de que Abuela regrese del bingo, dos hermanas salen a escondidas por la puerta de atrás hasta El Ahorcado --un volcán redondo como una panza bocarriba--, cuentan hasta tres y corren de vuelta sin mirar atrás. Sin embargo, una noche algo cambia... porque una vez traspasado el terreno de una infancia violenta, cómo se mira el mundo? En un cartón de bingo aparecen quince números --los mismos que las edades de la protagonista a lo largo de la novela, presentes como una mosca o una mariposa revoloteando sobre el título de cada capítulo--, y en esos diez minutos suspendidos que dura una partida, todo es posible. Han cantado bingo presenta una familia con un don que se hereda y se sufre, y una historia agreste como el rofe grueso de Lanzarote. Con un lenguaje juguetón y cautivador, cruel y bellísimo, Lana Corujo nos acerca a los silencios y la culpa, las verbenas, las heridas y la magia oscura que solo se teje entre dos hermanas que comparten un secreto. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A POET AND ILLUSTRATOR'S STORYTELLING DEBUT: TWO SISTERS BOUND BY A GAME, A VOLCANO, AND TRAGEDY.
It all begins with a game: some evenings, in those ten minutes hanging before Grandma returns after playing bingo, two sisters sneak out the back door to The Hangman--a round volcano with a top crater--they count to three and run home without looking back. However, one evening, something changes... For once you cross the threshold of a violent childhood, what is your take on the world? Fifteen numbers appear on a bingo card--the protagonist's ages throughout the novel, represented as a fly or a butterfly fluttering over the title of each chapter--and in those ten suspended minutes that a game lasts, anything is possible. They Called Bingo features a family with a gift that is passed down and endured, and a rugged history, such as the coarse rofe in Lanzarote. With a playful and captivating language, both beautiful and cruel, Lana Corujo brings us closer to silence and guilt, to verbenas, wounds, and the kind of dark magic that only two sisters sharing a secret are able to weave.
