Fiction
Kintsugi
by María José Navia
Description
How can a family be told? What are the pieces that make up your memory? What do we know about someone, beyond what they decide to show us?
In Kintsugi, a family breaks down and those who make it up look for ways -sometimes subtle, sometimes extreme- to repair it. Characters who take refuge in their jobs or in caring for others, who need technology as a way to organize their affections, to perform small gestures of vigilance or even to survive in a precarious world. In the manner of the Japanese art that gives this book its title, María José Navia recomposes in this novel-in-stories the broken lives of its characters, beautifully highlighting the scars of those who leave and those who remain.

Kindberg
Spanish literary fiction. House founded in 2015 in Valparaíso (Chile). We want to provide a haven for readers in times of storm. Now that the arrival of new titles is overwhelming, at Kindberg we are committed to a detailed rhythm, to slow-publishing instead of disposable titles. The books we choose are the ones we like and that is why we believe in them and we want other readers to like them. And yes, we only publish fiction, because "poetry, beauty, art, love are the things that keep us alive".
