India pravile

NOVEL. EMECÉ, 2005. 327 PAGES.

Once a renowned artist, the only thing retired film director Enrique Quiroga has left these days are his memories and the bitterness of belonging to the past. But he does have a grandson, Martín, who does not let him retreat to his hermit’s cave so easily and encourages him, almost accidentally, to go out in search of pastures new. Martín discovers in his grandfather a man capable of offering him a much more valuable inheritance than grumbling and crabbiness. Fiction, encoded autobiography and memoir of an entire era of Argentina cinema, India Pravile turns its gaze on the present with a lucid absence of sentimentality, but with hope and humour too.
