Recenzii

“Pron’s novel haunts me. Its unsentimental account of what it was like for a child of defeated leftists to grow up in Argentina in the shadow of the 1970s turned my heart upside down.” New York Times Book Review

“Startlingly brilliant.” The Daily Beast

“A moving exploration of guilt and memory, and an unflinching study of what History can do to us. Pron opens his eyes where the rest of us would rather close them and keep them closed.” —Juan Gabriel Vásquez, author of The Sound of Things Falling

“This is a brilliant, unforgettable novel. I was so entertained by Patricio Pron’s inventive, poetic, deranging sentences that I found myself thinking of Lewis Carroll.” —Francisco Goldman, author of Say Her Name

My Fathers’ Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain draws you in and holds your attention like a crime novel. But this absorbing new work is too complex to fit into any ready-made genre . . . Beautifully crafted.” Washington Independent Review of Books
 

“Patricio Pron is an immense talent, a daring writer with an absolutely unique voice. My Fathers’ Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain is a marvel.” —Daniel Alarcón, author of Lost City Radio

“This is an extraordinary book, and Pron is an extraordinarily gifted writer.” —KUER radio
 
“A modern masterpiece written with beauty and purpose—this is a novel about everything that most matters in the world.” —Deborah Levy, author of Swimming Home

“With subtle intelligence, poetic insight, and exquisite style, My Fathers’ Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain confirms Pron’s position as one of the finest novelists writing in Spanish today.” —Alberto Manguel, author of All Men Are Liars
 

“From a major new voice in Spanish literature, this novel should grant Pron a much-deserved readership in the English-speaking world . . . A melancholy and chilling work of postmodernism, examining family, memory, and what collective fear does to a society.” Booklist

“A sublime accomplishment, radiant and wrenching. You’ll never see Argentina—or fathers or sons or the human soul—the same way again.” —Carolina De Robertis, author of Perla
 
“Deeply affecting.” Metro (UK)
  
“Hugely rewarding and deeply unsettling.” New York Journal of Books
