En el ojo de la tormenta es un libro en el que el autor se ha expuesto en la lógica de su propio devenir varón. Un autor implicado en la escritura. En esa implicación, ha ido rastreando y exponiendo las marcas que lo llevaron a la construccion de su masculinidad. Y se ha preguntado por esas marcas en otros hombres, por las particularidades de hacerse una identidad masculina, que no es, en absoluto, mas sencilla que otras identidades. Resulta dificil encasillar a este libro en un genero literario, mosaiquismo literario. O quizas, ensayo profano. Hay aqui un bello despliegue de escritura que se filtra en las historias que matizan la lectura. Historias en general perturbadoras, provocadoras, algunas rozando en lo sacrilego, que nos muestras por que Marostica esta "en el ojo de la tormenta". Si la crisis de masculinidades supone entre otras cosas, el agotamiento de los modelos en funcion de los cuales esas masculinidades se formaron, el cuestionamiento de los mandatos del patriarcado, y la expectativa del surgimiento de otro modo de relacionarse y constituirse sujetos, esa crisis se aborda aqui desde preguntas que incomodan, que hacen que no podamos quedarnos quietos en nuestros sillones mientras leemos porque tambien nos interpela y nos horada el cuerpo.

So, what are they, who built them and what were they for? And how have so many survived for so long?With evocative photographs by Richard Mills, master folklorist Jo Kerrigan explores the origins of these mysterious circular structures: the stories and legends, the history and archaeology, the living traditions and practices connected to them.
