Overview
Melvill es una invitación a caminar sobre el hielo.»
MARIANA ENRIQUEZ
Regístrese y archívese, aunque se prefiera no hacerlo: Es la noche del 10 de diciembre de 1831 y Allan Melvill cruza a pie el congelado río Hudson.
A partir de las figuras de Herman Melville y de su padre Allan Melvill —surcando días de infancia junto al lecho de un alucinado y noches de escritor crepuscular que ya no empuña pluma ni arpón— Melvill sale a la caza del enigma de la siempre huérfana vocación literaria, del legado del estigma familiar, de los navegantes de la ficción y de los náufragos de la realidad.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“Fresan conjures up a hypnotic writing of rare beauty. Melvill is an invitation to walk on ice." —MARIANA ENRIQUEZ
Document it and file it, even if it’s better not to: It's the night of December 10, 1831, and Allan Melvill is walking across the frozen Hudson River.
Based on Herman Melville and his father Allan Melvill—plowing through childhood days at the bedside of a hallucinated man and nights as a twilight writer who no longer wields a pen nor harpoon— Melvill goes on the hunt for the enigma of the always orphaned literary vocation, for the legacy of family stigma, the steersmen of fiction, and the castaways of reality.
