Summary:

"Desde pequeño, Juan Francisco siempre se ha sentido dislocado dentro de su familia. A raíz de la muerte de su madre, se irá fraguando lentamente la necesidad de huir de su pueblo, de ser otro, de crearse una nueva identidad. De esa urgencia, comenzará su éxodo en donde el arte será su único asidero para sentirse partícipe de la vida y con él irá reconstruyendo los fragmentos de su pasado, haciéndonos parte de la pregunta que ?a lo largo de la lectura? nos haremos constantemente: ¿qué tan real es aquello que nos contamos como nuestros recuerdos? ¿Qué tan fiable, al final de cuentas, es nuestra memoria? María del Mar Ramón teje, con una prosa impecable, bellísimas imágenes en torno a la lenta caída de un hombre que se creyó la historia que se contó sobre sí mismo y sobre la gente que lo amó." --Back cover.

Since childhood, Juan Francisco has always felt dislocated within his family. In the wake of his mother's death, a need slowly begins to take shape within him: the need to flee his hometown, to become someone else, to forge a new identity. Driven by this urgency, he embarks on an exodus in which art serves as his sole anchor--his only means of feeling truly engaged with life. Through it, he gradually reconstructs the fragments of his past, drawing us into the very question that--throughout the course of the book--we will find ourselves asking constantly: How real are the stories we tell ourselves about our memories? How reliable, ultimately, is our memory? With impeccable prose, María del Mar Ramón weaves exquisite imagery around the slow descent of a man who came to believe the story he told himself--about himself, and about the people who loved him.
