  • Overview

    El libro emblemático de uno de los autores peruanos más reconocidos. Una novela de no ficción valiente sobre la compleja relación entre padre e hijo. «Es un libro impresionante y haberlo escrito, además de talento, demuestra gran coraje.» Mario Vargas Llosa

     Mediante los mecanismos de la ficción y la memoria, Renato Cisneros reconstruye la vida pública y privada de su padre, el controvertido general peruano Luis Federico Cisneros Vizquerra, más conocido como «el Gaucho», un general de división nacido en Argentina que   fue un polémico ministro de Interior y de Guerra en Perú. Los hallazgos de este libro no solo alumbran los rincones oscuros de la vida familiar y ponen en duda el relato público de uno de los actores clave de la política peruana del siglo XX, sino que cuestionan   las motivaciones del narrador y su recompensa: un ansiado sosiego que la literatura promete, pero no necesariamente otorga.

    Seis años después de su aparición, La distancia que nos separa confirma su valor como artefacto de exploración emocional y documento político privado. Los secretos descubiertos tras la muerte de su padre, la dimensión pública de este y la propia experiencia   del autor como hijo forjan este relato autobiográfico valiente, sin contemplaciones y al tiempo cautivador y sincero de la relación entre un padre y un hijo. Porque toda paternidad esconde una grieta en su interior.           

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    The emblematic book by one of the most recognized Peruvian authors. A gritty non-fiction novel about the complex relationship between father and son.“It’s an impressive book and to have written it, in addition to talent, shows great courage.” Mario Vargas Llosa.

    Through the mechanisms of fiction and memory, Renato Cisneros reconstructs the public and private life of his father, the controversial Peruvian general Luis Federico Cisneros Vizquerra, better known as “el Gaucho,” a general major born in Argentina who was a contentious Minister of the Interior and War in Peru. The findings in this book not only illuminate the dark corners of family life and cast doubt on the public account of one of the key actors in 20th-century Peruvian politics, but also question the narrator’s motivations and reward: a long-awaited peace of mind that literature promises, but doesn’t necessarily deliver. 

    Six years after its appearance, The Distance Between Us confirms its value as an artifact of emotional exploration and a private political document. The secrets uncovered after the death of his father, his public dimension and the author’s own experience as a son shape this brave, unceremonious, yet captivating and sincere autobiographical account of the relationship between a father and a son. Because all parenthood hides a crack inside.
