Offered in 0 more formatsUn matrimonio en plena crisis viaja en coche con sus dos hijos pequeños desde Nueva York hasta Arizona. Ambos son documentalistas y cada uno se concentra en un proyecto propio: él está tras los rastros de la última banda apache; ella busca documentar la diáspora de niños que llega a la frontera del país en busca de asilo. Mientras el coche familiar atraviesa el vasto territorio norteamericano, los dos niños escuchan las conversaciones e historias de sus padres y a su manera confunden noticias de la crisis migratoria con la historia del genocidio de los pueblos originales de Norteamérica. En la imaginación de los niños, las historias de violencia y de resistencia política colisionan, entrelazándose en una aventura que es la historia de una familia, un país y un continente
In Valeria Luiselli’s fiercely imaginative follow-up to the American Book Award-winning Tell Me How It Ends, an artist couple set out with their two children on a road trip from New York to Arizona in the heat of summer. As the family travels west, the bonds between them begin to fray: a fracture is growing between the parents, one the children can almost feel beneath their feet. Through ephemera such as songs, maps and a Polaroid camera, the children try to make sense of both their family’s crisis and the larger one engulfing the news: the stories of thousands of kids trying to cross the southwestern border into the United States but getting detained—or lost in the desert along the way. A breath-taking feat of literary virtuosity, Lost Children Archive is timely, compassionate, subtly hilarious, and formally inventive—a powerful, urgent story about what it is to be human in an inhuman world.--Publisher's description
