Description:From “one of the best kept secrets of Mexican literature” (Fernanda Melchor), a feverish novel about loving and leaving.Alone and adrift in Barcelona, an unnamed narrator is haunted by her teenage brother’s death.

To balm her Ulysses syndrome—the violent rupture between the life left behind and the one she toils to build—the narrator develops a compulsion with her brother’s ashes: touching and tasting them, instilling within her a strange peace.
