This novel focuses on a group of characters who are all in
different ways endeavouring to take control of their fate. Their
desire to lead a genuine existence forces them to confront
difficult decisions, and to break out of comfortable routines.Karl
and Marina have been together for ten years and have a young son,
Simon. Karl is a German-born oboist at Argentina's national
orchestra, and Marina is a meteorologist. On a field trip, she
meets fellow researcher Zarate, and what might have been just a
fling starts to erode the foundations of her marriage. Then there
is Amer, a dynamic and successful taxidermist. At a group therapy
session for smokers, Amer falls for the younger Clara. While the
relationship between Karl and Marina disintegrates, the love story
between Amer and Clara is just beginning - or is it already at an
end? One of Argentina's leading contemporary writers, Jorge
Consiglio portrays the inner worlds of these characters through the
minute details of their everyday lives, laying bare their strivings
and their frustrations with a wry gaze, and seeking in this
close-up texture a deeper truth.
