Description
Nona Fernandez's formally inventive, politically charged novel—following a woman's attempt to trace her astronaut father through the vast distances of both outer space and political exile—is one of the most original and most poetically ambitious works of Latin American literary fiction to reach English readers in recent years. Written with the lyrical compression and the genuine political intelligence that make Fernandez one of Chilean literature's most important contemporary voices, this is essential reading for every lover of literary fiction that takes form as seriously as content. A significant and beautiful work.
