Three ways to cross a river
by Agustina Atrio
Description
"This is the story of a journey through water. Why water? Because I feel comfortable being close to it, the calm invades me and the landscape fills in my urban person holes, those that grow when I live surrounded by concrete".
With a brutally honest voice, Argentinean Agustina Atrio tells us about the impossibility of having a fixed the impossibility of having a fixed domicile, a stable a stable identity, a foot anchored on land.
There are thunderstorms, earthquakes, echoes of guarani, submarine cables; cities that dry up, holes that always of cities that dry up, holes that always end up in China, mountains that threaten. She explores the marks that that remain on the body after a journey: silence, laughter and solitude.
Between the chronicle and the diary, and accompanied by voices such as Rebecca Solnit, Tim Ingold Ingold, Horacio Quiroga and Albert Camus, Agustina Atrio narrates a fascinating story of a search through three rivers: Paraná, Manzanares and Limmat. Rivers that are mostly wild, but that sometimes have been tamed by humans.
