Fiction
Underwater
by Melina Pogorelsky
Description
Underwater is a short-lived novel about a hinge stage in the life of Pablo, a first-time father who was widowed the same day his daughter Lola was born. After a long mourning period in which he exclusively raises her, he now finds in that half an hour in the pool time for himself, while Lola swims in the “mojarritas” lane.
With an emphasis on the B side, the darker side of maternity and the politically incorrect, Underwater reflects a theme in crisis: the mandates that society imposes on each gender when, faced with an irreversible event, we feel that we can no longer stand.
Absent of low blows, Melina Pogorelsky’s agile and forceful writing operates in different depths of sensitivity, where the skin of the other will be the main moving organ. Ironic dialogues and mental monologues converge towards a poetic immersion that manages to equalize us only to show the most valuable thing: our differences.
