El coratge de matar

by Lars Norén, Joan Casas i Fuster (translator), Carolina Moreno Tena (translator)

Fa fred, però l’Erik prefereix deixar les finestres obertes durant la visita del seu pare, que s’ha presentat a la casa del fill per passar-hi un temps indefinit, encara que la relació s’hagi refredat visiblement després que morís la mare. Les cicatrius entre tots dos són visibles, la profunditat de les ferides, no. Qualsevol presència estranya pot pertorbar greument la violència latent d’aquest nucli familiar disgregat.
