Summary:
"La Nona y Catalina, abuela y nieta, tienen que huir a México a causa de la dictadura argentina. Las dos aterrizan en un lugar nuevo donde tendrán que reconfigurarse un muchos sentidos. De entrada, como sucede en los exilios, las familias se reorganizan en tamaños y estructuras únicas. Catalina es apenas una niña, lo entiende a su ritmo. Su mirada en apariencia inocente observa una ciudad chilanga que se abre en un país con vida propia. La Nona, que enarbola una sabiduría singular, es un lucero identitario. Las preguntas sobre la historia y el presente, llegan a su tiempo. México y Argentina son países lejanos en el mapa, pero el espacio-tiempo los funde en una noción hecha de dolor pero también mucho amor, lo argenmex, que palpita y ha echado raíces en el sur y norte del continente. Este libro no se queda ahí, sino que se desarrolla, llegando también a otras geografías. Como si fuera una telaraña, está hilvanado con cuidado, captura y, sobre todo, cruza hilos de múltiples sentidos, desde los históricos, políticos y nacionales, hasta los de la infancia, lo familiar y lo individual." -- page 4 of the cover
"Nona and Catalina, grandmother and granddaughter, have to flee to Mexico because of the Argentine dictatorship. The two land in a new place where they will have to reconfigure many senses. From the outset, as in exiles, families reorganize themselves in unique sizes and structures. Catalina is just a girl, she understands at her [child] pace. Her innocent look observes a city that operates in a country with his own life. The Nona, who has a unique wisdom, is an identity star. The questions about the story and the present come to time. Mexico and Argentina are distant countries on the map, but the space-time melts them in a notion made of pain but also a lot of love, Argenmex, which throbb and has thrown roots in the south and north of the continent. This book does not stay there, but also develops, also reaching other geographies. As if it were a web, it is with care with care, capture and, above all, it crosses threads of multiple senses, from the historical, political and national, to those of childhood, the familiar and the individual."-- cataloger's translation
