Synopsis
Fiction. Latinx Studies. Translated by Ana Patete. "An original and dazzling road novel that invites us, alongside its protagonist, to traverse the imagination's landscape, the language of dreams, and the rituals of childhood. Everything in it, beginning with the journey itself, is an entrance to another astonishing trajectory, the constant flow of verbal intuition: that which opens itself up naturally to the children's gaze, and that, with the passing of time (that other journey), some of us achieve preserving in our adult intimacy. In her aesthetic discoveries, Inés Bortagaray has best conserved the narrative tradition of Felisberto Hernández and Mario Levrero, rigorous in its inquisitiveness, its ludic strength, and its rich and inimitable strangeness."--Carlos Yushimito
