| Synopsis | At her father's insistence that she write the family history, María José Rangel finds herself faced with a riddle. If telling a story is narrating with words what exists between a beginning and an end, through writing she will try to give meaning to the puzzle of births, accidents, deaths, unions and separations that weave the family epic. Amidst a collection of memories and nostalgia, she will also find the story of her own body and identity. Nicknamed by her sisters as Monkey Brain in allusion to the father's foolish gesture of injecting himself with monkey hormones in order to conceive her, Majo will not only chronicle those who share her genes, but also the other loves that have gradually joined her pack. Winner of the Aura Estrada International Prize in 2011, María José Ramírez has written a novel that is an altar of memory. By portraying with honesty and humor the bonds of human affections, revealing their sweet and cruel complexity, the author has built a home for ghosts, trees, wild beasts and the pristine waters of the sea. A beautiful mausoleum to pay homage to the dead and which is, therefore, a luminous celebration of life. |
