Una novela conmovedora sobre un padre que acompa�a a su hija enferma en un viaje por el coraz�n del Medio Oeste estadounidense, enfrentando el duelo, la p�rdida y la memoria.

�Se hab�a convertido de la noche a la ma�ana en una joven activista de la responsabilidad moral ante un mundo de adultos a la deriva.�

Lobos pone en escena y en ruta, —pues se trata de un largo e inquietante viaje en auto— la dif�cil relaci�n entre un padre y su hija adolescente mientras atraviesan Estados Unidos rumbo a un campamento de ecolog�a radical al cual ella ha decidido ingresar.

La delicada salud de la hija y su mejor amiga, los fantasmas pol�ticos y literarios de �l, y las nuevas miradas sociales sobre las palabras y las conductas ponen entre ambos un abismo que el amor y el mutuo empe�o no logran salvar. La cat�strofe vive en los cuerpos y en el derrumbe del mundo conocido. El viaje es, as�, una incursi�n sin retorno en el lenguaje de la despedida y la paranoia, mientras el padre lleva consigo un manuscrito como la hija su furia.

Lobos, su s�ptima novela, confirma la solvencia de Roberto Brodsky a la hora de tramar una historia donde se combinan escritura reflexiva, di�logos llenos de tensi�n y escenas inolvidables.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A moving novel about a father who accompanies his sick daughter on a journey through the heart of the American Midwest, facing grief, loss, and memory.

“Overnight, she had become a young activist for moral responsibility in the face of a world of adults adrift.”

Wolves portrays—and sets in motion, as it is a long and unsettling road trip—the difficult relationship between a father and his teenage daughter as they cross the United States en route to a radical environmental camp she has decided to join.

The daughter’s fragile health and her best friend, the father’s political and literary ghosts, and new social perspectives on words and behaviors create a chasm between them that love and mutual effort cannot bridge. Catastrophe dwells in their bodies and in the collapse of the known world. The journey is, thus, a one-way foray into the language of farewell and paranoia, while the father carries a manuscript with him just as the daughter carries her fury.

Wolves, his seventh novel, confirms Roberto Brodsky’s mastery in crafting a story that combines reflective writing, tension-filled dialogue, and unforgettable scenes.
