Eduardo Halfon
pubblicato da
Massachusetts Review, Inc.
Eduardo Halfon's "Tomorrow We Never Did Talk About It" follows closely the departure of a well-off industrialist Jewish family from Guatemala in the early 1980s. The events are seen from the point of view of the naive, inquisitive ten-year-old son. In Anne McLean's vivid translation, the wrenching upheaval of the family's departure emerges as a microcosm of the country's descent into hell.
"Guatemala may be tranquil, but Eduardo Halfon is a narrative volcano." Neue Zürcher Zeitung
"[Halfon's work is] tight and lean . . . falling somewhere between the novels of Roberto Bolaño, WG Sebald, and Junot Díaz." Telegraph
"Eduardo Halfon's prose is delicate, precise, and as ineffable as a precocious art a lighthouse that illuminated everything." Francisco Goldman, author of Say Her Name
