Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The fifth and most critically acclaimed volume of poetry by Syrian-Brazilian poet Waly Salomao (1943-2003), Algaravias: Echo Chamber takes its title from an entangled history, referenced in an etymological epigraph: From al-garb, the West; that language of the Arabs considered corrupted, little understood by the Spanish. Also a name of a plant, given that name for the messiness of its branches. Its ruminations on passage, self-placement, virtual geography, human-electronic interaction, poetic consciousness, and mortality are inflected by Salomaos dual heritage; they also confront the isolating nature of the dictatorship he lived through as well as the aggressively optimistic discourse of post-dictatorship modernization efforts: the torrential influx of mass media and multinational corporations, and the sterile, touristic, and militarized landscapes of modern space and spectacle.

The father, Carlos, is reckoning with a depression that has hollowed his soul, likely caused by exposure to pesticides. His wife, Guerlinda, must cope with her husband's mental absence from family life while raising three children and keeping the household afloat. Alice, the eldest daughter, rebels against her mother and traditional gender standards. Her younger sister Maria is the only one who still attends school, struggling to reconcile her book smarts with the harsh manual labor demanded by the farm. And little two-year-old Pedrinho still hasn't started talking, but is already being put to work tending the tobacco. All the while, the objects surrounding them are watching and telling us their story. There's the old, sick tree in their backyard; the mirror inside, which reflects the unsaid emotions and hidden traumas; the truck that transports them; and the protective smock that accompanies the family during the harvest.As the harvesting and burning season approaches, big tobacco companies, unpredictable conditions, and consequences of pesticide treatments threaten the familys livelihood and mental well-being. In this utterly groundbreaking novel, Mariana Salomao Carrara experiments with language and form to portray a family in crisis.
