9786073126892: Adiós a los padres / Goodbye to My Parents (Spanish Edition)

Synopsis

He visto una foto de mi padre joven, la mejor de sus fotos. Tiene veintiséis años, viste un traje de lino claro que el aire infla. Está de pie en una playa de guijarros y arena revuelta, junto a una muchacha de talle alto y piernas largas. Dentro de unos años, esa muchacha será mi madre."
HÉCTOR AGUILAR CAMÁ?N

La foto anticipa y esconde la historia de una familia. Siguiendo los brillos que esa foto abre en su memoria, Héctor Aguilar Camín ha producido un texto de entrañable intimidad y transparencia sobre las huellas familiares, sobre la urgencia personal de una narrativa capaz de decir quiénes fueron tus abuelos, cómo se conocieron tus padres, por qué se casaron, por qué se separaron, por qué fueron como fueron y por qué eres como eres.

Todos hemos imaginado alguna vez esa indagación. Aguilar Camín se adentra en ella hasta las últimas consecuencias, con una prosa impecable, conmovedora, y una trama envolvente, inesperada, extraña y familiar como la vida misma. Adiós a los padres es la novela de madurez que los lectores de Morir en el golfo y La guerra de Galio esperaban de Aguilar Camín. Una obra maestra de nuestro tiempo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION I've seen a photo of my father: the best photo of him. He is 26 years old, wearing a light-colored linen suit that is blowing in the breeze. He is standing on a beach of pebbles and rough sand, next to a high-waisted, long-legged woman. A few years after that, this woman would become my mother. —Héctor Aguilar Camín The photo both foresees and hides the story of a family. Following the gleam that this photo unearths in his memory, Héctor Aguilar Camín has produced a text of fond intimacy and transparency about a family's past, about the personal urgency for a narrative capable of telling who your grandparents were, how your parents met, why they got married, why they separated, why they were the way they were, and why you are the way you are. We have all imagined this investigation. Aguilar Camín digs deeply into it until the final consequences, with an impeccable, moving prose, and an engrossing, unexpected plot, as strange and familiar as life itself. Goodbye to My Parents is the mature work that readers of Dying in the Gulf and The War of Galio are awaiting from Aguilar Camín. A masterpiece of our time.
