Extraits-
From the cover
There was so much light that morning and the sky was so clear, its warm blue marred by a single white smirch, more like a plume of smoke than a cloud. It was already late and he needed to go and that hot day was going to be just like the next: if it rained and he was hit with the river’s humidity and the stifling Buenos Aires heat, he would never be able to leave the city.
Juan swallowed a pill dry to stave off the headache he wasn’t feeling yet and went into the house to wake up his son, who was sleeping under a sheet. We’re leaving, he said as he shook him gently. The boy woke up right away. Do other children have such shallow, vigilant sleep? Wash your face, he said, and carefully cleared sleep from the boy’s eyes. There was no time for breakfast, they could stop on the way. He loaded the already-packed bags, and debated a while among various books until he decided to add two more. He saw the airplane tickets on the table: they were still a possibility. He could lie down and wait for the date of the flight, some days later. To ward off inertia, he tore up the tickets and threw them in the trash. His long hair made his neck sweat: it was going to be unbearable under the sun. He didn’t have time to cut it now, but he got the scissors from the kitchen drawer and stashed them in the same plastic box where he kept his pills, the blood-pressure monitor, the syringe, and some bandages, basic first aid for the trip. Also, his sharpest knife, and the bag full of ashes he would use later. He packed the oxygen tank: he was going to need it. The car was cool; its leather hadn’t absorbed too much heat during the night. He loaded the picnic cooler, filled with ice and two bottles of cold soda, into the front seat. His son had to ride in the back; Juan would have preferred to have the boy beside him, but it was illegal, and he couldn’t risk any problems with the police or the army, who kept a brutal watch over the highways. A single man alone with a child could be suspicious. The repressive forces were unpredictable, and Juan wanted to avoid any incidents.
Gaspar, he called, without raising his voice too much. When he received no answer, he went inside to look for the boy. He found Gaspar trying to tie the shoelaces of his sneakers.
“You’re making a mess of it,” he said, kneeling down to help. His son was crying, but Juan couldn’t console him. Gaspar missed his mother—she had done these things automatically: trimmed his nails, sewn his buttons, washed behind his ears and between his toes, asked if he’d peed before leaving, taught him how to tie his shoelaces in a perfect bow. Juan missed her too, but he didn’t want to cry with his son that morning. You have everything you want? he asked. We’re not going to come back for anything, I’m warning you.
He hadn’t driven so far in a long time. Rosario always insisted that he drive at least once a week, just so he didn’t get out of practice. The car was too small for Juan, like almost everything: pants were too short, shirts too tight, chairs uncomfortable. He checked to be sure the Auto Club’s guide was in the glove box, and they set off.
“I’m hungry,” said Gaspar.
“Me too, but we’re going to stop for breakfast at this great place I know. In a while, okay?”
“If I don’t eat, I’ll throw up.”
“And my head hurts when I don’t eat. Be strong. It’s just a little while. Don’t look out the window or you’ll get even dizzier.”
He himself felt worse than he wanted to admit....
Critiques-
Starred review from November 14, 2022 Enriquez (The Dangers of Smoking in Bed) twines sinister flights of occult imagination through the harsh realities of history in this decades-spanning masterpiece of literary horror. After Juan’s wife dies in 1981, a grieving Juan and his young son, Gaspar, embark on a road trip to her familial estate in Argentina, which Gaspar will inherit. The loss is made more fraught when Gaspar begins to manifest Juan’s ability to see and summon beings from the afterlife and beyond. Juan, a powerful but terminally ill medium, has long been in the grip of the Order, a cult controlled by his late wife’s family that strives for immortality while worshipping a mad and distant god. He knows that if Gaspar inherits his abilities, the cult will seize the boy to shape and use him for its own purposes. But if Gaspar hasn’t inherited, the Order plans to enact a ritual to keep Juan alive at the cost of Gaspar’s life. Juan launches a yearslong deception to save his son from the Order’s vampiric grasp, but the Order’s roots are far deeper than even Juan realizes—and its grip much harder to slither out of. Enriquez’s lush epic pulls no punches, probing the complex intimacies of familial bonds, the draw of darkness, and brutal Argentinian history. This unsettling gothic tale will leave readers shaken. Agent: María Lynch, Casanovas Lynch.
Starred review from September 1, 2023
Following her short story collection The Dangers of Smoking in Bed, Enriquez presents a multigenerational tale of supernatural evil, translated into English and now available in audio. The story introduces the Order, an Argentinian cult that communes with an entity known as the Darkness. Juan Peterson is one of their most gifted mediums, able to summon the Darkness for the Order's nefarious ends. However, Juan realizes that the Order has its eye on his son Gaspar. Juan fears for his son, knowing what the Order is capable of and knowing too what he himself can wreak. At a whopping 27 hours, this novel isn't something to devour in a day or even a weekend. It spans generations, jumps to different points in time, swells with moments of beauty and creativity, and is full of characters, like the aforementioned father and son, who are intriguing to watch even as they make bad choices. Frankie Corzo's subdued narration adds a dreamlike quality to the story's mystical and realistic elements. VERDICT Set against the backdrop of Argentina's 1970s Dirty War and dripping with atmospheric horror, this novel will reward listeners' patience, revealing beauty among supernatural and all-too-human terrors.--James Gardner
