ENGLISH DESCRIPTION I've seen a photo of my father: the best photo of him. He is 26 years old, wearing a light-colored linen suit that is blowing in the breeze. He is standing on a beach of pebbles and rough sand, next to a high-waisted, long-legged woman. A few years after that, this woman would become my mother. --H ctor Aguilar Cam n The photo both foresees and hides the story of a family. Following the gleam that this photo unearths in his memory, H ctor Aguilar Cam n has produced a text of fond intimacy and transparency about a family's past, about the personal urgency for a narrative capable of telling who your grandparents were, how your parents met, why they got married, why they separated, why they were the way they were, and why you are the way you are. We have all imagined this investigation. Aguilar Cam n digs deeply into it until the final consequences, with an impeccable, moving prose, and an engrossing, unexpected plot, as strange and familiar as life itself. Goodbye to My Parents is the mature work that readers of Dying in the Gulf and The War of Galio are awaiting from Aguilar Cam n. A masterpiece of our time.
