Mauro Javier Crdenas, the criticallyacclaimed author of The Revolutionaries Try Againan original, insubordinate novel (New York Times)pens a profound story of literature about a man coming to terms with his dysfunctional Colombian family, as well as his own behavior, as an immigrant in America.Antonio wants to avoid thinking about his sistereven though he knows he wont be able to avoid thinking about his sisterbecause his sister is on the run after allegedly threatening to shoot her neighbors, and has been claiming that Antonio, Obama, the Pentagon, and their mother are all conspiring against her. Nevertheless, Antonio is going to try his best to be as avoidant as possible, because he worries that whats been happening to his sister might somehow infect his relatively contented, ordered American life, and destabilize the precarious arrangement with his exwife thats allowed him to stay close to his two daughters.In fact, hes busy doing everything except facing his problems headon: transcribing recordings of his mother speaking about their troubled life in Colombia, transcribing recordings of his exwife speaking about her idyllic life in the Czech Republic; writing about former girlfriends whose words and deeds still recur in his mind; rereading stories by American writers that allow him to skirt the subject of his sisters state of mind without completely destroying his own.Written in long, unravelling sentences that accommodate all the detritus of thoughtscenes real and imagined, headphones and heartache, Toblerones and Thomas BernhardAphasia captures the immensity of the present moment as well as the pain of the past. It cements Mauro Javier Crdenass place as one of the most innovative and extraordinary novelists working today.
