Product details

A young woman lives with her husband and their two children in a house in Mexico City and is writing a novel. She does not leave the house, but she also cannot truly inhabit it. Thus, she begins to tell her story. About her husband, her children, her past. How she, as a young editor in New York, desperately tried to convince the publisher to publish the work of Gilberto Owen, that obscure Mexican poet who lived in Harlem in the 1920s and was friends with Federico Garcia Lorca. His ghostly presence has haunted her and continues to do so. She tells and writes, and in the process, her life goes off the rails, and in her writing, another narrative voice emerges, that of Owen. Now it is he who reflects on his life, both comical and melancholic, as he too is haunted by a ghostly apparition.
