is imagination so fanciful and audacious that it can invent a memory and then transform it into something we understand as true? anyway, it doesn't matter. that sign existed. i saw it or imagined it, which for a kid is the same thing.across four previous books in english translation (the polish boxer, monastery, mourning, and canción), guatemalan author eduardo halfon has mined memory to help make sense of the past. with beautiful prose, storytelling verve, and detective-level inquisitiveness for what came before, halfon exhumes the yesteryears of self and family.
