La sombra del ombú (Cuadrilátero de libros)

by Cristian Segura

On June 8, 2012 Christian Segura is preparing to attend his sister’s graduation. The ceremony is at 7pm, but upon arrival, there is a tragic scene. Manual L.G., a young 30-year-old man, has committed suicide by hanging himself on a branch of the ombu tree in the schoolyard. This true story is the starting point that leads the author to investigate the victim and his motives. Frustrated by a lack of answers, Segura addresses the issue in a more comprehensive manner that transforms the book into an essayistic fascination with suicide and the feelings of immeasurable pain, guilt, and loss.
