My Fathers' Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain

The American debut of one of Granta s Best Young Spanish-Language Novelists, My Fathers Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain is a daring and deeply affecting story of one Argentine family s buried secrets. When a young writer returns home to visit his dying father, he finds himself drawn into an obsessive search for a local man gone missing. As the truth not only about his father but an entire generation comes to light, the narrator is forced to confront the ghosts of Argentina s dark political past, as well as long-hidden memories about his own family s history. Powerful and audacious, this semi-autobiographical novel is a thoroughly original story of corruption and responsibility, of history and remembrance, from one of South America s most important new writers."
