My father's ghost is climbing in the rain
Pron, Patricio (1975 -)
My father's ghost is climbing in the rain / Patricio Pron - New York : Vintage Books , 2013 - 212 p. ; 21 cm.
A young writer, living abroad, makes the journey home to South America to say good-bye to his dying father. In his parents' house, he finds a cache of documents - articles, maps, photographs - and unwittingly begins to unearth his father's obsession with the disappearance of a local man. Suddenly he comes face-to-face with the ghosts of Argentina's dark political past and with the long-hidden memories of his family's underground resistance against an oppressive military regime. As the fragments of the narrator's investigation fall into place - revealing not only a part of his father's life he had tried to forget but also the legacy of an entire generation - this audacious novel tells a completely original story of corruption and responsibility, history and remembrance.
Translated from the Spanish to English.
