Dos mujeres, dos épocas. Una novela que explora la identidad femenina a través del tiempo y la memoria.


Aunque soñaba con ser actriz, Sabrina terminó por estudiar Artes. Impulsada por Gabriel --su director de tesis y su amante--, decide investigar las huellas del teatro judío en la Argentina. Para eso recurre a Jaim, un viejo profesor que le sugiere revisar los restos de los archivos de la AMIA, la mutual que sufrió un atentado terrorista en 1994. "Fue en ese momento que decidí que yo me iba a dedicar a ese pasado. No es que me llamara la atención ese mundo, no más que cualquier mundo: lo que me convocaba era que hubiera desaparecido".


La investigación resulta trabada y difícil porque la mayoría de los documentos volaron con la bomba. Hasta que un coleccionista le ofrece una caja y allí descubre el diario de Jana, una actriz del teatro ídish en la Buenos Aires de 1960. Su figura es una suerte de espejo mágico para Sabrina. Seguir sus huellas se vuelve una obsesión y todo lo demás --su familia, su carrera académica, su relación con Gabriel-- pasa a segundo plano.


En La última actriz, Tamara Tenenbaum demuestra una inteligencia narrativa excepcional. Con dos personajes femeninos perturbadores y una trama tan elusiva como hipnótica, esta novela trata acerca de ser mujer, del deseo y la realización, del mito del díbuk y la posesión del cuerpo, de la tradición y la modernidad, de la ciudad de Buenos Aires y de la búsqueda de una clave existencial entre un montón de papeles quemados.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Two women, two eras. A novel that explores female identity through time and memory.

Although she dreamed of becoming an actress, Sabrina ended up studying Arts. Encouraged by Gabriel--her thesis advisor and lover--she decides to investigate the traces of Jewish theater in Argentina. To do this, she turns to Jaim, an old professor who suggests she review the remnants of the AMIA archives, the mutual society that suffered a terrorist attack in 1994. "It was at that moment that I decided I would dedicate myself to that past. It wasn't that I was particularly drawn to that world, no more than any other world: what called to me was that it had disappeared."

The investigation proves to be difficult and obstructed because most of the documents were destroyed in the explosion. Until a collector offers her a box, and there she discovers the diary of Jana, an actress in the Yiddish theater in Buenos Aires in the 1960s. Her figure becomes a sort of magical mirror for Sabrina. Following her traces becomes an obsession, and everything else--her family, her academic career, her relationship with Gabriel--takes a back seat.

In La última actriz, Tamara Tenenbaum demonstrates exceptional narrative intelligence. With two disturbing female characters and a plot as elusive as it is hypnotic, this novel is about being a woman, desire and fulfillment, the myth of the dybbuk and body possession, tradition and modernity, the city of Buenos Aires, and the search for an existential key among a pile of burnt papers.

You Get What You Pay For! A Piece Of Junk!
Size: 1 Panel
Flimsy and a piece of junk. Don’t waste your money. Assembly is a pain because it is so flimsy. Divider is thin. You can see right through it. Very wobbly.

Instructions are useless
Size: 1 Panel
The instructions are poorly written and not very helpful. The divider itself is easy to assemble, and honestly, it would’ve been quicker if I had skipped the directions altogether. Once put together, though, it works as intended.

This was the best
Size: 1 Panel
This divider is great for creating a little privacy or separating a small area without taking up much space. The fabric is thick enough to block visual clutter, and the frame is lightweight but stable once it’s opened. It folds flat for storage, which is convenient if you only need it occasionally. Assembly was straightforward, and it was the perfect size. It’s a practical piece for apartments, studios, or home offices where you want a quick, temporary partition.

Good privacy screen
Size: 1 Panel, Size: 1 Panel
This is a good privacy screen that's easy to assemble and looks nice. Be a little careful moving it, as the corners can twist. It's sturdy once in place, and the thick material is completely opaque. If the folds bother you, you might want to iron it, but I'm happy with it as is.

Lightweight divider that works well for video call backgrounds
Size: 1 Panel
This divider works fine for what it is, but it’s definitely on the lightweight side. Setup was very easy and only took a few minutes. The frame is fairly light, so it’s easy to move around or reposition if needed. That said, the tradeoff is that it’s not especially sturdy. It stands fine on its own but I wouldn’t expect it to handle much bumping or movement. I mainly bought it to use as a background for Zoom calls when I’m working from my den, and for that purpose it works great. The fabric panel blocks the room behind me and gives a cleaner background on camera. It’s not huge though. To keep the camera from seeing around it, I have to position it directly behind my chair. If you’re expecting it to divide a large room or create a big privacy barrier, it may feel a bit small. Overall, it does the job and works well for temporary setups or video call backgrounds, but the lightweight frame keeps it from feeling like a premium divider. The product description and photos are accurate.
