First published during 2015 in Spanish, ’La parvá’ is the sixth novel by Chilean author Carlos Labbé.’La parvá’, primera novela sobre el Campeonato Mundial de Fútbol de Chile 1962, arranca durante la víspera nocturna de la inauguración del certamen. En un tren desde Temuco a Santiago, una dirigenta deportiva con intenciones secretas aborda a un retirado periodista radial para convencerlo de que vuelva a su labor de relator, en beneficio de la selección nacional. El periodista posee un don insólito: mediante la narración en vivo su voz es capaz de mover a jugadores y equipos.Tras el hipnótico relato del partido de semifinales entre Chile y Brasil por parte de este narrador periodista, se revelará la trama oculta en el palco de la diplomacia chilena, la impotencia del pueblo en los pastos del estadio y el origen inesperadamente terrenal de un don que transforma a equipos, oyentes, lectores en parvá. En esta, la sexta novela de Carlos Labbé, cobran inesperada relevancia las negociaciones de lo no dicho en los relatos competitivos y capitalistas, también en las decisiones de quienes desaparecen rumbo al sur -una dirigenta y un periodista deportivo- como si así pudieran predecir el estado actual de Chile. 3
