The roots of lights
by Andrea Beaudoin Valenzuela
Description
A grandfather and his granddaughter start a road trip to participate in a collector's contest. It is the time in Colombia when electricity rationing and miraculous fishing reign. With fantasy and humor, the grandfather defends his granddaughter from precariousness and abandonment. When the roles of care are reversed, the granddaughter must create new ways of sustaining the house, the body and the memory. Andrea Beaudoin constructs a two-part story to imagine with overwhelming prose the unconventional ways in which we build family. // “People, like the stars, have different forces of gravity. Ana thinks about whether hers will still be growing or will have reached its final size. Leo, over the years, has become magnetic. Around him things float and collapse like everyday meteorites. A limitless force grows in concentric circles, absorbing everything in its path”.
