Una vaga sensación de pérdida

In A Vague Sense of Loss, Andrzej Stasiuk remembers four loved ones whom he pays tribute to with poignant simplicity. The story of her grandmother, set in the Poland of another time, is the beginning of the book, but the soul of this wonderful narrator, capable of bringing ghosts back to life, permeates all the stories contained in these pages. It was she who bequeathed to Stasiuk the art of storytelling, and pulling the ball of memory of her, the threads with which the author weaves the plot are born. A beautiful and luminous book about the wonders of life and the pain of loss, about the forms that memory takes in volatile memory, about the inexorability of death and its eternal mystery.
