All writing, even that which imitates life, is a fiction. A trick. Using this as his premise, Giralt Torrente confronts a universal theme in this intimate story: the death of his father. He reconstructs the relationship with his father, the times in life he shared with him, with a surprising eagerness for faithfulness. He does not avoid the shadows but neither does he recreate the story from within them. In this way, with the help of hypnotic and concise prose, this experience turns into everybody’s experience. The result is a moving book which embraces and punches you at once. / Toda narración, incluso aquella que pretende imitar la vida, es una ficción. Un artificio. Partiendo de esta premisa, Giralt Torrente se enfrenta en este relato íntimo a un tema universal: la muerte del padre. Reconstruye la relación con su padre, el tiempo de vida que compartió con él, con asombroso afán de fidelidad. Sin eludir las zonas de penumbra, pero sin recrearse en ellas. De esa forma, con ayuda de una prosa hipnótica y concisa, la propia experiencia se transforma en experiencia de todos. El resultado es un libro conmovedor que abraza y golpea a un tiempo. Ni un homenaje ni un ajuste de cuentas. Un intento de comprender la relación más compleja que cabe entre dos personas. El retrato de un padre y un hijo. Un inventario de vida en el que casi nada se calla y en el que, por eso, aparece la vida tal y como es: con sus tristezas y encrucijadas pero también con sus jubilosos descubrimientos.
