until the day he died my father worshipped a world that robbed him of all he ever wanted.a disconcerting, claustrophobic novel, fernanda trías' the rooftop (la azotea) works its dark magic to impressive effect. the uruguayan author (and levrero disciple) crafts masterfully a tale of increasing portent, plotted perfectly with an unraveling ratcheted up at a nearly undetectable pace.
no one could possibly understand how i feel: isolated, expecting nothing, knowing i'm locked in a desperate battle to defend something that's already gone.*translated from the spanish by annie mcdermott (levrero, harwicz, almada, lozano, et al.)
