Crocodiles at Night follows the difficult journey of death and all it affects—family, memories, place—through the eyes of a woman as she travels between her home in Houston and her ailing father in Argentina.Although the outcome of Crocodiles at night does not remain a surprise beyond the first paragraph, it expands outwards in philosophical, heartfelt reverberations true to Heffes's style. Crocodiles by Night explores familial ties, memories and images of places that are no longer the same, the vagaries of the medical system, and social critique in this heartfelt, excruciating view of death and how it affects all who experience it.
Indaga la relación entre la emergencia de la ciudad americana como realidad geopolítica y la construcción del ideal utópico en diversas escrituras latinoamericanas, atendiendo a la diversidad que entraña el ideario utópico en lo ficcional, ideológico e intelectual, y a la configuración de una sociedad perfecta e idealizada.
Ischia is a portrait of an unnamed narrator and protagonist who, along with her friends, wanders through the margins of different cities, especially Buenos Aires, searching for something they don't know and seems unfathomable.An intricate, gutsy, and raw novel, Ischia is populated with outsiders who navigate the vicissitudes of life in Argentina and the world. Ischia, the first-person female narrator, is the youngest in a family of seven brothers and relates her experiences as she waits for a ride to the Argentine international airport. Told through the dizzying would-have-could-have of conditionals, Ischia overlaps the past, present, and future of three young characters defined by lack of certainty or expectations. These three lives unfold between disenchantment and humor, and the narration transports the readers into a universe of memories, desires, and dreams. The novel advances lyrically through themes both solemn and lighthearted, shaping the contours of imaginaries, hilarious, and sometimes even surreal experiences.
