Irene y el aire

This book is the story of a promise: that you are going to be a father. The history of Humanity guarantees the fulfillment of what was promised, and a pregnancy is indistinguishable from another pregnancy. But each birth is an epic, sometimes dramatic, almost always happy, full of anxiety, humor, social meanings and fear, a lot of fear. An extraordinary long road until the child "touches the air". With meticulous and beautiful honesty, Alberto Olmos has written a novel about pregnancy from the most modest point of view: that of a man who tries not to bother too much. An obstacle course packed with childbirth classes, implausible terms, primal panics and must-see visits to IKEA.
