Ischia is a portrait of an unnamed narrator and protagonist who,
along with her friends, wanders through the margins of different
cities, especially Buenos Aires, searching for something they don't
know and seems unfathomable. An intricate, gutsy, and raw novel,
Ischia is populated with outsiders who navigate the vicissitudes of
life in Argentina and the world. Ischia, the first-person female
narrator, is the youngest in a family of seven brothers and relates
her experiences as she waits for a ride to the Argentine
international airport. Told through the dizzying
would-have-could-have of conditionals, Ischia overlaps the past,
present, and future of three young characters defined by lack of
certainty or expectations. These three lives unfold between
disenchantment and humor, and the narration transports the readers
into a universe of memories, desires, and dreams. The novel
advances lyrically through themes both solemn and lighthearted,
shaping the contours of imaginaries, hilarious, and sometimes even
surreal experiences.
