An interesting novel, one young woman (I) making sense of the loss of Mom (m) and various boyfriends (t)(a) by using diagrams of sets and subsets. Along the way, I learned about Argentina and the forced expats that left for Mexico during the 70s. The book was often confusing as it went back and forth in time but that was also part of the charm. Might be worth a re-read. I did not quite figure out if Mom appears at times or if she lives in the walls or if she really just walked out. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
""Veronica Gerber writes with a luminous intimacy; her novel is clever, vibrant, moving, profoundly original. Reading it made me feel as if the world had been rebuilt." -Francisco Goldman "From the very beginning, Veronica Gerber set out to write a novel that would end up at a loss for words. She alone could achieve this feat: because she's a visual artist who takes everything she reads in as concentric circles threaded with color, and because she writes essays on painters who write across canvasses and writers who paint plots from the realities of life. She alone could bring the necessary silence to a novel so perfect it ended up leaving me speechless as well." -Jorge F. Hernandez How do you draw an affair? A family? Can a Venn diagram show the ways overlaps turn into absences, tree rings tell us what happens when mothers leave? Can we fall in love according to the hop skip of an acrostic? Empty Set is a novel of patterns, its young narrator's attempt at making sense of inevitable loss, tracing her way forward in loops, triangles, and broken lines. Veronica Gerber Bicecci is a visual artist who writes. In 2013 she was awarded the third Aura Estrada prize for literature. She is an editor with Tumbona Ediciones, a publishing cooperative with a catalogue that explores the intersections between literature and art"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
