Publisher's Synopsis
Saved by their children, shipwrecked by their parents, the protagonists of these stories dive into the depths of essential links. The houses, the sea, the countryside are confinement and escape; the space where generations feed, dream, procreate. With lyrical, stripped-down, and ironic lines, Katya Adaui rehearses her theory of parenthood: an opaque map in which human beings trace with strength and intelligence how to survive parenting. Modest in the face of intimacy, appeased by similarities, enervated by the familiar, they avoid blows, face abandonments and look for any proof of tenderness and happiness to redeem them. Because in Geography of Darkness it is the sons and daughters who know the truth of that disguise we call father.
