Paperback. Condition: New. "This slim and vital novel is a tour de force; it will floor you, and lift you right the way up-I adored it." -Claire-Louise Bennett , author of PONDDuring the summer of 2014, on one of the stormiest days on record to hit the coast of Uruguay, 31-year old Alejandro, lifeguard and younger brother of ou…r protagonist and narrator, dies after being struck by lightning. This marks the opening of a novel that combines memoir and fiction, unveiling an intimate exploration of the brotherly bond, while laying bare the effects that death can have on those closest to us and also on ourselves.It's always the happiest and most talented who die young. People who die young are always the happiest of all.Can grief be put into words? Can we truly rationalise death to the point of embracing it? Older Brother is the vehicle Mella uses to tackle these fundamental questions, playing with tenses and narrating in the future, as if all calamities described are yet to unfold. In a style reminiscent of Bret Easton Ellis and J.D. Salinger, recalling in parts Cronenberg's or Burgess's examination of violence and society, Mella takes us with him in this dizzying journey right into the centre of his own neurosis and obsessions, where fatality is skilfully used to progressively draw the reader further in.

blanda. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. "El 9 de febrero de 2014, durante uno de los veranos más tormentosos que se recordarán en las costas del Uruguay, muere Alejandro, 31 años, salvavidas, alcanzado por un rayo mientras dormía en una casilla en Playa Grande. "Tendría que haber sido yo", dice el protagonista, el…hermano mayor, el pesimista, y no Alejandro, que vivía la vida como quería, como venía, que explotaba de felicidad. Así comienza este relato en el que la memoria se entrecruza con la ficción en una exploración del vínculo fraternal y el duelo en el seno íntimo de una familia. Un viaje que lleva al narrador, despiadado consigo mismo, a enfrentar lo más oscuro de sí: sus obsesiones, sus perversiones, sus mezquindades, pero también aquello que puede redimirlo, la literatura. ¿Cómo narrar el dolor?, ¿se puede racionalizar la muerte? El dolor no se puede decir en presente, solo en pasado; sin embargo, Mella elige narrarlo en tiempo futuro, como si todo lo malo fuera a ocurrir, indefectiblemente, pero más adelante, hasta que algo le recuerda que el futuro llegó hace rato."--Page 4 of cover.
