En verano

Thus comes the tremendous end of this ambitious project. The personal encyclopedia format is recovered here, in this case marked by summer, which gives rise to talk about the summer rain and tears, cherry and plum trees, ice cubes and ice creams, crab fishing and the barbecues... And among those always sagacious and heterodox reflections, entries from an intimate journal of the writer are interspersed. His literary projects and the conflictive relationship with his father during childhood emerge, among other issues, and we are told the story -that the grandfather in turn related to the author- of a woman who lived a forbidden love with an enemy soldier during world war II. And now that the cycle is closing, there is also a reflection on the capacity of literature to explain the world to us.
