Síntesis:
"A man mourning his alcoholic father faces a paradox: to pay tribute, lay scorn upon, or pour a drink. A wrenching, dazzling, revelatory debut"-- Provided by publisher
Silva and his mother had come north across the border to escape his father's violent, drunken rages. His father had followed, going in and out of the family's life until he was arrested and deported back to Mexico, where he drank himself to death at the age of forty-eight. Silva channels the heartbreak of mourning while wrestling with the resentment and frustration caused by addiction: his father's lifelong battle with alcoholism and the havoc it wreaked on his family. -- adapted from jacket
