Eduardo Halfon's latest book UN HIJO CUALQUIERA, a brave and luminous exploration of his literary universe through the lens of fatherhood, is out today with @librosdelasteroide! “I wrote the stories in this book over the last five years—meaning, over the first five years of my son’s life. And although writers’ stories pass by them like pedestrians or cats in their path, I’ve spent five years walking and writing while holding the hand of a son who comes and goes from these stories, who runs to hide from some of them, and who even whispers some of his own to me at times. A son who, all of a sudden, forced me to write as a father.” In the texts that are collected in this new book by Eduardo Halfon, fatherhood—with all of its strengths and vulnerabilities—is often the lens through which the author revisits some of the preferred topics of his literary universe. Halfon writes about childhood, uprooting, death, a writer’s vocation, or the search for one’s own identity with an economy of means that is inversely proportional to the obtained result. A brave and luminous book that is perhaps one of the most personal by an author who is already considered one of the most important authors of recent Latin American literature.
