Praise for Guadalupe Nettel: Nettel offers her keen attention and
sympathy to any living thing struggling to get by. --The New York
Times Nettel has brilliantly found a form to contain the multitudes
of what one body can hold. --Nick Flynn The gaze [Nettel] turns on
madnesses both temperate and destructive, on manias, on deviances,
is so sharp that it has us seeing straight into our own obsessions.
--Le Monde Claudio's apartment faces a wall. Rising from bed, he
sets his feet on the floor at the same time, to ground himself.
Cecilia sits at her window, contemplating a cemetery, the radio her
best companion. In parallel and entwining stories that move from
Havana to Paris to New York City, no routine, no argument for the
pleasures of solitude, can withstand our most human drive to find
ourselves in another, and fall in love. And no depth of emotion can
protect us from love's inevitable loss. In 2006, Guadalupe Nettel
was voted one of the thirty-nine most important Latin American
writers under the age of thirty-nine at the Bogota Hay Festival.
She has lived in Montreal and Paris, and is now based in Mexico
City. Her previous books include Natural Histories and The Body
Where I Was Born.
