Description
The Lime Tree is a charming and playful memoir by César Aira. The author's vivid recollections of his childhood in Colonel Pringles bring to life a small-town neighbourhood, its inhabitants, and the artist's own extraordinary imagination.
Aira's narrative weaves together anecdotes about his father, a handsome and ambitious man with big dreams, and his strikingly grotesque mother, whose litany of political rants helped keep him calm. The story is a colourful mosaic of family life, politics, and the passing of time.
