Andrea y Juli�n, con los nombres falsos usados en esa ficci�n, beben y hablan mientras cambian de bares en Houston.

La nueva novela de Rodrigo Hasb�n nos sumerge en el tiempo silenciado de la adolescencia. Los a�os invisibles es una indagaci�n dolorosa y bella sobre el pasado y c�mo lo recordamos, sobre el lugar inexpugnable que tiene en el ahora.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"In The Invisible Years, a group of teenagers from a good family watch a brilliant future crumble at their feet. A generational novel about the unknowns and uncertainties of coming of age.

'Adolescence is war and love towards everything and against everything.' Rodrigo Hasb�n
Twenty-one years later and in another hemisphere, two friends from their adolescence meet to reminisce about their common past, the past that one of them is transforming into a novel. Thus, they engage in a relentless conversation about the lies and truth of that time.

Andrea and Juli�n, with false names used in that work of fiction, drink and talk while bar-hopping in Houston. As the hours pass, the meeting brings to light that tragic March that no one could forget, and that forever marked their group of upper-class friends in Cochabamba, the city from which they wanted to escape and to which they do not intend to return.

Rodrigo Hasb�n's new novel plunges us into the silenced time of adolescence. The Invisible Years is a painful and beautiful inquiry into the past, how we remember it, and about the impregnable place it has in the now. "
