Overview
El regreso de Pedro Mairal a la novela después de su aclamada La uruguaya.
Un retrato brillante y conmovedor del paso de la adolescencia a la edad adulta.
Thiago, Pilar y Bruno cruzan el borde inestable que va de la adolescencia a la adultez entre un verano que quema y un invierno que aísla, con Buenos Aires de fondo como un laberinto que empiezan a descifrar. ¿Cómo crecer cuando los adultos parecen enemigos? ¿Cómo enfrentarse a la exigencia de ser algo que no se eligió? ¿Cuántas formas pueden tener el amor y el deseo?
Marcado por la pérdida de su madre, Thiago busca hacer pie en un mundo del que se siente expulsado. Desde una universidad en Estados Unidos, Bruno trata de hallar un lenguaje que lo identifique en medio de una geografía y un idioma ajenos. Pilar, que siempre actuó como centro de gravedad del grupo, es la encargada de sostener lo que queda de esa familia sustituta mientras la suya se desmorona.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The return of Pedro Mairal to the novel after his acclaimed La uruguaya.
A brilliant and moving portrait of the transition from adolescence to adulthood.
Thiago, Pilar, and Bruno cross the unstable boundary from adolescence to adulthood between a burning summer and an isolating winter, with Buenos Aires as a background maze they begin to decipher. How do you grow up when adults seem like enemies? How do you face the demand to become something you did not choose? How many forms can love and desire take?
Marked by the loss of his mother, Thiago seeks to find his footing in a world he feels expelled from. From a university in the United States, Bruno tries to find a language that identifies him amid unfamiliar geography and speech. Pilar, who has always acted as the group's center of gravity, is tasked with holding together what remains of that substitute family while her own falls apart.
