The Jewish Son - A Novel

A breathtaking short novel about the complicated feelings of hate, pity, and; in familial love, by an acknowledged Latin American master. A brilliant and dark tour de force, ; As his father’s imminent death becomes an ever more concrete reality with surgeries, caregivers, sedatives and his mother grows obsessed with visits to the rabbi and amasses saint cards and Buddhist prayers, the narrator evokes the remnants of the rejection that pervaded his childhood. ; Without yielding to the idealization of youth or to the delight in pain before physical decay and death, Guebel dissects, beautifully although with discomfort, his very early conversion to the dream of literature as an act of reparation.
