no sé qué decir. hay mucho silencio en este libro. siento que es un relato corto que en la mente se hace más largo. lo vas completando, llenas silencios. y te lo acabas y tienes que llenar el final. yo ahora lo estoy llenando.

leitura extremamente agradável. é um livro interessante, mas senti ele cheio de momentos e frases muito profundas mas sem muita conexão entre si. me fez sempre esperar por algo que nunca veio, o que, parando p pensar, combina muito com o livro e deixa todo o contexto da leitura mais interessante, mas ainda assim sinto que faltou algo.

Zambra is quickly shooting up in my favorite writers. This short novel has incredible depth to it, focusing on a new relationship, the man's relationship with the child, an absence that is felt (including literally in the text), and an unexpected bit of meta fiction and a time jump. There's a sense of wistfulness to the whole novel, and an exquisite tension that builds up around the absence in the book. Will be reading more of Zambra.
