Description
In the stark landscape of rural Argentina, two families are bound by a legacy of violence and the complex, often brutal, nature of masculinity. As a devastating storm approaches, the lives of Pájaro, Marciano, and the patriarchs Oscar and Elvio become entangled in a narrative of murder, suicide, and the inescapable grip of fate. This piercing and passionate novel explores the cyclical nature of abuse and the desperate search for identity amidst inherited trauma. Selva Almada masterfully crafts a dreamlike yet visceral story where death lurks in the shadows, and the fight for survival takes on profound and unexpected forms.
