  • Overview

    «Una prosa inteligente, precisa, sin concesiones». Kirmen Uribe

    En esta novela hay veranos, cigarrillos, piscinas, hospitales, caballos, azulejos, cemento, arena, cartas, plantas, fuego, vacaciones, amores, mentiras, verdades, vergüenzas… y también alcohol, que lo impregna todo, estropeándolo y deformándolo. Porque el padre es alcohólico. Y ella, la hija de un alcohólico. Pero ¿qué más hay detrás de ese hombre que vendía materiales de construcción y fabricaba muebles reciclando palés? A pesar de haber vivido en la misma casa durante muchos años, padre e hija apenas tienen trato. No se hablan ni se tocan, pero las miradas, los olores y los sonidos les sirven de vínculo. Y el silencio, eso que no se quiere y no se puede decir, es más un campo de batalla que una fortaleza.
     
    En su primera novela, Eider Rodríguez ha recogido los fragmentos de un padre para reconstruir, desde diferentes perspectivas y con un estilo brutal y descarnado, el relato de una familia, de una época y de un lugar, sacando a la luz los cauces subterráneos por los que circulan el amor y la vida dentro de los estrechos márgenes del entorno familiar.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    “An intelligent, precise, uncompromising prose.” —Kirmen Uribe

    In this novel, we find summers, cigarettes, pools, hospitals, horses, tiles, cement, sand, letters, plants, fire, vacations, affairs, lies, truths, shame... and alcohol, which impregnates everything, ruins it, and deforms it. Because the father is an alcoholic. And she, the daughter of an alcoholic. But what else is there behind this man who sells construction materials and makes furniture recycling pallets? Although they have lived in the same house for many years, father and daughter barely see each other. They don’t speak nor touch each other; but the looks, smells, and sounds, act as liaisons between them. And the silence, all one cannot and will not say, is more a battlefield than a fortress.
     
    In her first novel, Eider Rodríguez has gathered fragments of a father to rebuild the story of a family, a time and a place from different perspectives with a brutal, discarnate style. The author brings to light the underground flow where love and life travel inside the narrow margins of a familial setting.
