Austral - Paperback

by Carlos Fonseca (Author)

In this brilliant novel there are three losses and three searches. English writer Aliza Abravanel tries, in battle with aphasia, to finish her book. A last indigenous speaker is confronted with the disappearance of his culture and his language while an anthropologist fights to prevent it. Through the construction of an esoteric theater of memory, a survivor of the Guatemalan genocide seeks to recover the memories lost after the traumas of war.
