More About This Book

Overview

La vida de la familia Torres es un caos. El padre, puertorriqueño #Paps#, y la madre, nacida en Brooklyn #Ma#, deciden tener tres hijos pese a su precaria situación laboral. Les darán una educación peculiar que se desarrollará entre trabajos basura, problemas en el barrio y anécdotas familiares íntimas y divertidas. En ese marco, solo el cariño y el amor entre ellos hará posible que sobrevivan en esa jungla que es la ciudad. Pero la principal jungla de la histoia es la de la infancia, porque los tres niños, los verdaderos protagonistas de la novela, se comportarán como pequeños animales en continuo aprendizaje: travesuras, extrañas conversaciones con los adultos, juegos, inocencia y destellos de esa inteligencia tan lúcida y en ocasiones impropia de los niños pequeños. El componente autobiográfico hace aún más interesante este relato, pues retrata a la perfección la vida en las afueras de Nueva York a finales de los ochenta y las oportunidades que esta ciudad ofrecía a los habitantes del colectivo latino. Este libro presenta un universo en el que el lector se siente cómodo, ya que es cercano y está cargado de imágenes de gran belleza y lirismo, y consigue hablar del amor y del cariño en la familia sin utilizar el discurso cursi o manido al que estamos acostumbrados.
