The novel I learned what its genre was when it was published this 2022.
Have everything clear? I think neither Aristotle. Something like this happened with this first book of mine. I emphasize "mine" as when the son of a mother and vice versa. I don't know what a mother's feeling is, I only feel proud of myself towards myself based on what I wrote. Leaving the me, the me and mine, Sudden Chill is as much yours as it is everyone's.
I'll start by breaking down a bit of the terminology of the words sudden and chill which are the bringers of life for this book:
Sudden
From the lat. subĭtus.
1. adj. Unforeseen, sudden
2. adj. Hasty, impetuous, or violent in works or words.
3. adv. suddenly
suddenly
1. location adv. Suddenly, suddenly.
sudden death.
Chill
Of is- and chill.
1. m. Cold sensation, usually sudden, violent, and accompanied by muscular contractions, which sometimes precedes an attack of fever. U.m. in pl.
2. m. Sensation like chills, produced by an intense emotion, especially terror.
Having written the above for the RAE, I found myself on the adventure of inventing a world of fiction, mystery and above all, personal questioning. A black comedy that aims to take the reader through tentacular cobwebs ready to invite them to follow words that seem to speak of only one thing when they burst with meaning.
When I wanted to see the face of the novel, not only what was beginning to be written and that it was taking shape as a novel, but I needed to see who or that something he was talking about. He needed to see what he was bringing to life. It was just that, it was a sudden deep feeling in my body, in my heart that led me to a thunderous chill without any explanation. A shiver that ran through my whole being and it was at that exact moment that I was clear, an impulse led my hands and fingers to type everything that my mind began to dictate.
Then I pronounced out loud: Sudden Chill. From that day to today, I never doubted what my first literary work would be called.
A sudden chill can be a look that speaks more than a thousand words. Contact without being touched, the explosion of emotions without the need to have a prime cause.
Sudden chill is a clear and pure feeling, totally organic. Something that is not preset, scheduled, or quoted. It is the aroma of fear, the one with which you live a meaningless life on occasions, or the one that precisely gives you that: a meaning.
Sudden chills tell us about the fragility of man, about the constant need to cling to meaningless moments, to people who lack value or whose very value is null. It is leaving us in the background or third plane, a love - hate to be always the villain of the story, and in case of being the victim until dying, the best thing that can happen to man.
Sudden Chill is intended to be a parody of the day-to-day drama that accompanies us to give life a reason. A satire of everything so rudimentary that it seems to be more complicated than the real thing. A story without an end that can be given the pertinent judgment, according to the experience of each reader, as well as their comprehension and understanding of the meaning of each word exposed.
