El Tranvía de Navidad

Calaciura recoge el testigo de Charles Dickens y su «Cuento de Navidad y compone una bell sima novela protagonizada por los que viven en los m rgenes de la sociedad. Un reci n nacido aparece abandonado en el ltimo asiento del tranv a n mero catorce. Es Nochebuena y el veh culo surca cual cometa las v as hacia la periferia de una ciudad sin nombre. C mo ha llegado hasta all ? Qu va a ser de l? Tal vez por caridad, por improvisaci n o por locura, alguien ha decidido confiar al ni o a los brazos del mundo. Un pesebre espont neo y desharrapado lo acompa a en ese primer viaje de su vida: un vendedor ambulante de paraguas, una joven prostituta africana, un muchacho negro sin papeles o un mago inmigrante que ha perdido la memoria. Calaciura pone en primer plano las vidas min sculas de esos llamados «los nadies unas vidas hu rfanas de todo y libres del vicio de la riqueza, pero tambi n poseedoras de una resoluci n invencible.

Calaciura collects the witness of Charles Dickens and his Cuento de Navidad and composes a beautiful novel starring those who live on the margins of society. A newborn is found abandoned in the last seat of tram number 14. It is Christmas Eve and the vehicle plows through the tracks towards the outskirts of a city without a name. How did he get there? What will become of him? Perhaps out of charity, improvisation, or madness, someone has decided to entrust the child to the arms of the world. A spontaneous and ragged manger accompanies him on that first journey of his life: a traveling umbrella seller, a young African prostitute, a black boy without papers, and an immigrant magician who has lost his memory. Calaciura foregrounds the tiny lives of those so-called "nobodies" lives orphaned of everything and free from the vice of wealth, but also possessed of an invincible resolve.
