Además de ser Rápida infernal, ésta es una novela tristemente inacabada, como inacabada quedó l. a. obra worldwide de su autora, Jennifer Quiles, a los angeles que un cáncer infernal nos arrebató rápida y cruelmente en marzo de 2005.

Jennifer, que gustaba definirse como «periodista, escritora y activista gay», había librado batallas informativas y reivindicativas para decidir que sus libros serían sus mejores armas, cargadas —como las del poeta— de futuro.

Y en este empeño andaba cuando se embarcó en un reto... de armas tomar: un western lésbico, manera de trasladar los angeles lucha a un escenario en el que, como en tantos otros, los hombres dictan los angeles ley y hacen los angeles trampa.

Osada como pocas, Quiles, a los angeles que para los angeles ocasión podríamos rebautizar como Calamity Jenni, crea a una rubia angelical, que no podía llamarse sino Annabel Sweetheart; a dos que donde ponen el ojo ponen los angeles bala y responde a los inequívocos nombres de Lena Darkness y Lucy Fer; a una india inopinadamente blonda y adecuadamente conocida como Cabellera de Trigo; y a una émula de Antonio Banderas que (pacatos abstenerse) se autodenomina los angeles Zorra. Eso, por citar sólo a algunas de estas hembras, escoltadas todas por una miríada de personajes cuyas actitudes, tan de sesión de tarde sabatina, nos permiten sentirnos a gusto, como en casa, a pesar de los angeles extrañeza overall que nos sigue produciendo, incluso después de ver Brokeback Mountain, de Ang Lee, el Oeste lejano convertido más que en some distance homosexual, en Lesbian Territory.

La lectura avanza entre tiroteos y secuestros, crímenes y arrepentimientos, escenas subidas de tono y bajadas de pantalones, dosis abundantes de testosterona y cantidades ingentes de buen humor. Historias sobreentendidas y guiños al lector, e incluso algún atisbo de relato interactivo. Hasta que, doblado al cabo de l. a. página 442, l. a. lectura se suspende bruscamente: «… sólo eran admitidos los más fuertes. De forma voluntaria o no.».

Jennifer lo dejó ahí: una obra inacabada que nos permite atisbar lo que pudo haber sido y no fue, una novela interrumpida que da cabal testimonio de lo mucho que había crecido como escritora, de su enorme potencial literario, confirmado también por los Cuentos que completan este libro que no es como los demás.

C’était comme si elle n’avait pas rêvé, comme si elle avait été éveillée. Il y avait pourtant ce reflet dans ce miroir, elle aurait dû apercevoir autre selected. Elle aurait dû s’apercevoir elle-même. C’était cela qui devait l’angoisser, elle ne se voyait pas dans le miroir. L’idée lui traversa l’esprit que c’était peut-être l’un des effets de los angeles mort, elle avait vu un movie ainsi où le fantôme ne se voyait pas dans le miroir. Elle étendit doucement l. a. major vers le miroir, los angeles major de los angeles jeune fille rejoignit l. a. sienne. Elle fut parcourue de frissons glacés. Elle savait qu’elle ne devait pas céder à los angeles panique. Elle avait envie de hurler, mais elle risquait de tout faire disparaître, alors, où se retrouverait-elle ? Elle apercevrait sans doute des choses innommables dans ce miroir maudit. Était-elle devenue folle ? Avait-elle perdu los angeles raison ? Que s’était-il moveé ? Qui était-elle ? Elle ne se souvenait plus de rien. Elle se revoyait vaguement auprès d’une femme. Puis plus rien. Plus rien. Où se trouvait-elle ? Sa terreur augmenta quand elle remarqua que los angeles jeune fille los angeles regardait avec effroi, avec désespoir même. Que voyait-elle donc ? Elle entendit un petit tintement agréable. Elle savait ce que cela signifiait, l. a. bonté et l’amour qui venaient los angeles consoler et l. a. rassurer. Elle ne se souvenait plus très bien mais elle savait. Elle réussit à se contrôler quelque peu, elle essaya de raisonner.

Que s’est-il crossé ensuite ? Je ne me souviens plus très bien. Tout ce que je sais c’est qu’il y eut comme une grande explosion à l’extérieur. Puis une sorte de nuée tourbillonnante, formée de milliers de issues lumineux, comme le fameux bijou mystery que Milka nous montrait de temps à autre, s’approcha de l. a. foule innombrable massée à l’extérieur, tournoya au-dessus de nous un fast, puis se contracta, il y eut encore une explosion, negative, mais qui ne souleva pas un grain de poussière, puis ce fut un sifflement affolant, los angeles foule fut parcourue par un frisson, quelques hurlements de terreur, le silence revint. À l’intérieur de los angeles maison, sous nos yeux stupéfaits, Milena et Nathalie avaient disparu sans laisser l. a. moindre hint. Elle m’avait confié le bijou de cette fée double qu’elle m’avait appris à lire afin que je puisse prendre connaissance de l’histoire vraie de Milka et de Nathalie, notre histoire personnelle. Si ce mot a toutefois un sens.

Bajo una intensa lluvia otoñal, los angeles inspectora García se dirige al Instituto Anatómico Forense. Han encontrado el cadáver de un hombre asesinado en, más que extrañas, curiosas circunstancias.
