My Fathers' Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain - A Novel (Paperback)

The American debut of one of "Granta"'s Best Young Spanish-Language Novelists," My Fathers' Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain "is a daring and deeply affecting story of one Argentine family's buried secrets. When a young writer returns home to visit his dying father, he finds himself drawn into an obsessive search for a local man gone missing. As the truth--not only about his father but an entire generation--comes to light, the narrator is forced to confront the ghosts of Argentina's dark political past, as well as long-hidden memories about his own family's history. Powerful and audacious, this semi-autobiographical novel is a thoroughly original story of corruption and responsibility, of history and remembrance, from one of South America's most important new writers.
