Notes

Description
Una pareja de varones se encuentra cada domingo. La familia, los hijos, la complejidad del amor desde la perspectiva de uno de los amantes. Apasionado, dulce, ambiguo, doloroso, el encuentro entre dos varones se repite domingo a domingo en un pequeno departamento. Desde alli se asoman al balcon frente al que se despliega el horizonte majestuoso de arboles y edificios de una Buenos Aires pobre y necia, que grita su ruina. Vendran inmediatamente los dias que los separen, los de la semana, la que los seres humanos dedican al trabajo y la familia. Y volvera luego el dia de la entrega y la celebracion. A la calida primavera que anuncian los jacarandas de las plazas, la precedio la lluvia y le sucedera el frio. A la luz del ocaso, antes y despues, el sol de la manana. Y sobre la superficie clara y minima de esas horas juntos -las del sexo y la conversacion de pocas palabras, un banquete que sacia y desespera- se extienden irremediablemente las sombras de las que esta hecho el amor.En esta novela delicada e intensa, Julian Lopez incita a sus personajes a persistir en el viaje hacia el corazon de los otros. Porque es solo en esa busqueda a oscuras que se revela el sentido de la vida.
Description
A male couple meets every Sunday. Family, children, the complexity of love from the perspective of one of the lovers. Passionate, sweet, ambiguous, painful, the encounter between two men is repeated Sunday to Sunday in a small apartment. From there they look out onto the balcony in front of which the majestic horizon of trees and buildings of a poor and foolish Buenos Aires unfolds, screaming its ruin. The days that separate them will come immediately, those of the week, the one that human beings dedicate to work and family. And it will return later on the day of delivery and celebration. The warm spring announced by the jacaranda trees in the squares was preceded by rain and followed by cold. In the light of sunset, before and after, the morning sun. And on the clear and minimal surface of those hours together -- those of sex and the conversation of few words, a feast that satisfies and despairs -- the shadows of which love is made inevitably spread. In this delicate and intense novel, Juli�an L�opez encourages his characters to persist in the journey to the hearts of others. Because it is only in that dark search that the meaning of life is revealed.
