El deseo siempre es exceso: nunca alcanza, jamás se sacia"Todo lo que importa sucede de noche. Cerca de un tren. Cerca de un río. En un idioma extranjero, con los labios pintados de rojo". La protagonista de ¿Se dice asi? huye de la rutina y de las responsabilidades dominada por la adrenalina del encuentro erotico. Entre trenes, habitaciones de hotel y mails febriles, atraviesa ciudades, idiomas y cuerpos para descubrir que el deseo siempre es exceso: nunca alcanza, jamas se sacia. En medio de esa voragine, escribe para que el amor no se acabe, para que el deseo no se apague, para traducir lo intraducible. Las palabras y los cuerpos se vuelven, en un mismo movimiento, refugio y condena. Con una voz que desarma lo intimo y lo vuelve poetico, Leila Sucari vuelve a explorar el erotismo como territorio salvaje y la escritura como el unico lugar habitable.

By embracing this perspective, people can find new ways to approach daily labor, even when it doesnt feel deeply fulfilling.In Worth Doing, readers will: Gain a theology of work that moves beyond only ideas of productivity or calling. Learn how to embrace human limitations as part of Gods good design. Reflect on the ways work connects to broader questions of purpose and human flourishing. Worth Doing invites readers to consider their limitations as valuable aspects of their vocational journey, offering a thoughtful framework for addressing the complexities of work. This book is particularly relevant for theologians examining the intersections of work, faith, and rest; Christian educators; and leaders in the faith and work space. By moving beyond conventional theological approaches to faith and work, Worth Doing presents a hopeful and theologically rich perspective on vocation that acknowledges and embraces human limitations.
