Item description from seller
Elsa, uma octogenária que viveu toda a sua vida em um subúrbio de Buenos Aires, acaba de ficar viúva. Oeste narra esse momento em que ela passa a conjugar o desejo de estar sozinha e mergulhar no silêncio que a conduz de volta a seu passado com a presença invasiva dos filhos. Das pequenas questões da casa a suas roupas envelhecidas e confortáveis, passando pela inevitável solidão, tudo que lhe é satisfatório parece incomodar os que a rodeiam. Narrado com precisão, sensibilidade e sem concessões ao sentimentalismo, Oeste nos traz, pelos olhos cansados de Elsa, um retrato da vida familiar de seu tempo. O casamento que vai adquirindo tons esmaecidos, os filhos que passam de objetos do cuidado materno para sujeitos do cuidado com a mãe, a neta distante, objeto do controle obsessivo dos pais. Ao alternar presente e passado, narrador em terceira e segunda pessoas quando uma espécie de superego enxerga a própria Elsa e aqueles que passam por sua vida sem nenhuma condescendência Silvina Gruppo constrói personagens que tomam emprestada sua consistência justamente do que têm em comum com gente que conhecemos. Assim como ilumina lembranças, Elsa vive pequenos e grandes esquecimentos, deixando entrever a memória que se esvai, o triunfo da cisma sobre a decisão razoável, a dissolução do bom senso e uma tomada de consciência difusa das amarras e frustrações com que teve de conviver.…
