Description
Retrospective by Juan Gabriel Vásquez is a novel that explores the complexities of memory and its power to shape our understanding of ourselves and our world.
The story follows Sergio Cabrera, a film director struggling to come to terms with his past, as he attends a retrospective of his films in Barcelona. Over the course of a few turbulent days, he recalls key events from his family's life, including the Spanish Civil War, exile in Latin America, and the Cultural Revolution in China.
This gripping novel is a devastating portrait of the forces that have shaped our world over the past half century. Translated from the Spanish by Anne McLean, Retrospective is a revelatory and unforgettable read.
