[EAN: 9781644450079], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [SC: 4.09], [PU: Graywolf Press,U.S., United States, Saint Paul], NONA FERNANDEZ SPACE INVADERS A NOVEL, Space Invaders is the story of a group of childhood friends who, in adulthood, are preoccupied by uneasy memories and visions of their classmate Estrella Gonzalez Jepsen. In their dreams, they catch glimpses of Estrellas braids, hear echoes of her voice, and read old letters that eventually, mysteriously, stopped arriving. They recall regimented school assemblies, nationalistic class performances, and a trip to the beach. Soon it becomes clear that Estrellas father was a ranking government officer implicated in the violent crimes of the Pinochet regime, and the question of what became of Estrella after she left school haunts her erstwhile friends. Growing up, these friends - from her pen pal, Maldonado, to her crush, Riquelme - were old enough to sense the danger and tension that surrounded them, but were powerless in the face of it. They could control only the stories they told one another and the ghostly green bullets they fired in the video game they played obsessively. One of the leading Latin American writers of her generation, Nona Fernandez effortlessly builds a choral voice and constantly shifting image of young life in the waning years of the dictatorship. In her short but intricately layered novel, she summons the collective memory of a generation, rescuing felt truth from the oblivion of official history. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged., Books<
