Gloria

It's a bright spring Saturday: April 11, 1970. The famous Argentine singer Sandro is going to become the first Latin American to perform at Madison Square Garden and Gloria will be one of the lucky attendees of the mythical concert. In her twenties, the young woman she walks through the electric streets of New York, which invites her to forget everything and learn it again. There will be time for disappointments to arrive, but not today: today should last forever and be, perhaps, the perfect day, if Gloria manages to get the disturbing images she saw in the AGFA photo labs out of her head. where he works; if she manages not to think too much about her father who was murdered when she was a child, or if the irascible and unpunctual Tiger she appears. Maybe. Five decades later, a son looks back on his mother's early years and realizes that his youth, marked by passing through New York at exactly the same age, are not so different. That son is Andrés Felipe Solano, who with a glowing look but not without darkness, and a prose as sincere as it is sophisticated, recalls in Gloria the moment in which her mother discovered that love is an endless game that consists of balancing so as not to fall. over the precipice. An emotionally charged book that grants the reader the privilege of witnessing the beginning and all the possible futures of a woman from one day in her life.
