La ilusión de los mamíferos
Description:
A male couple meets every Sunday. Family, children, and the complexity of love, all seen from the perspective of one of the two lovers. Passionate, sweet, ambiguous, and painful, the meeting between two male lovers repeats every Sunday in a small apartment. From that balcony they overlook the magnificent horizon of trees and buildings of a poor and foolish Buenos Aires with its ruin in full display. The days that separate them will soon come, those weekdays, the ones that human beings devote to work and family. But the day in which they give themselves to each other will soon return. The warm spring revealed by the jacaranda trees in the squares was preceded by rain, and cold weather will follow it. There is always a morning sun before and after a sunset. And on the clear and minimal instances of those hours together – those of sex and short conversations, a banquet that satisfies yet despairs – the shadows of love are spread. In this delicate and intense novel, Julian Lopez encourages his characters to persist in the journey towards the hearts of others. Because it is only in that gloomy search that the meaning of life is revealed. Part of MAPA DE LAS LENGUAS
