Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. This book made me cry, smile, laugh, and every emotion in between. The writing was beautiful. A story about a father who is determined to keep his children safe from anything fails to do so. Brilliantly captivating, the story was slow at first but the pace picked up so quickly! ( )Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I just couldn't get through the dialogue. I wanted to like the book since it spoke to themes close to my heart, but the narrative style wasn't readily available to me.Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. The author had an interesting story of a father who fakes his death to escape his life, as well as writing well with clever style. But I was overwhelmed by the heavy emotion that didn’t really let up and did not finish. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I find memoirs very difficult to review, and this one is no exception. It's hard to comment on the actual story being told, as the real experiences of the author and his family. I'll focus instead on the story-telling itself: I found the jumps around in both time and the changes in style abrupt and at times hard to follow. Every time I started to get my bearings on who was narrating, what was happening in relation to other sections, and got in the flow of the style again, that part of the book would end and I'd be tempted to put it down rather than continuing. In the end I'm glad I finished reading, but am unsure whether I can actually recommend the experience. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. What Goes Unsaid is a well-written, evocative, fluid account of fathers and sons, tales and realities, here and not here, actual and fictional, truth and lies, remembered and forgotten, visible and invisible, present and not present, witnessed and imagined, cruel and loving, spoken and silent, freedom and bondage, life and death and rebirth. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In 1958, Carlos Monge McKey sneaks out of his home in the middle of the night to fake his own death. He does not return for four years. A decade later, his son, Carlos Monge Sanchez, deserts his family too, joining a guerrilla army of Mexican revolutionaries. Their stories are unspooled by grandson and son Emiliano, a writer, who also chooses to escape reality, by creating fictions to run away from the truth. What Goes Unsaid is an extraordinary memoir that delves into the fractured relationships between fathers and sons, grandfathers and grandsons; that disinters the ugly notions of masculinity and machismo that all men carry with them - especially in a patriarchal culture like Mexico. It is the story of three men, who - each in his own way - flee their homes and families in an attempt to free themselves. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
