Fiction
La ficción del ahorro
by Carmen M. Cáceres
Description
Posadas, summer of 2001. A twenty-year-old girl returns from Buenos Aires to her family home to help withdraw a sum of American dollars from a bank safe deposit box. These are the savings of her mother and her second father. Against the backdrop of Argentina’s crisis and growing social unrest, battling the heat and immersed in the provincial rhythm, her return to her hometown awakens a stream of speculations about money and family, the past and the future, wealth and poverty, the Capital and the provinces. As the narrative progresses with the relentless pace of a powerful river, the current settles into lucid observations alongside a touch of humor and a subtle irony about Argentina's cyclical crises, making this novel a revealing, immensely enjoyable read—almost a catharsis or an epiphany.
