Their desire to lead a genuine existence forces them to confront difficult decisions, and to break out of comfortable routines. Karl and Marina have been together for ten years and have a young son, Simon. Karl is a German-born oboist at Argentina's national orchestra, and Marina is a meteorologist. On a field trip, she meets fellow researcher Zarate, and what might have been just a fling starts to erode the foundations of her marriage. Then there is Amer, a dynamic and successful taxidermist. At a group therapy session for smokers, Amer falls for the younger Clara. While the relationship between Karl and Marina disintegrates, the love story between Amer and Clara is just beginning - or is it already at an end? One of Argentina's leading contemporary writers, Jorge Consiglio portrays the inner worlds of these characters through the minute details of their everyday lives, laying bare their strivings and their frustrations with a wry gaze, and seeking in this close-up texture a deeper truth."--Provided by publisher 500 $a Translated from the Spanish. 500 $a "First published in Spanish as Tres monedas by Eterna Cadencia (Argentina)"--Title page verso 650 0 $a Fate and fatalism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Fate and fatalism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921813 650 7 $a Interpersonal relations $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977397 650 7 $a Man-woman relationships $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007080 651 0 $a Argentina $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Argentina $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205614 655 4 $a Argentine fiction $v Translations into English. 655 7 $a novellas. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300202569 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novellas $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921741 655 7 $a Psychological fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726481 655 7 $a Novellas. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novellas. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000664 700 1 $a Orloff, Carolina, $e translator. 700 1 $a Petch, Fionn, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023017.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8DA82CE4664511EDB99D19AA23ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
