mythology in classical literature there are two approaches to the relationship between parents and children. The first that comes to mind is the Oedipus of Sophocles. The conflict is solved the hard way: Oedipus kills his father and sleeps with his mother. The solution does not seem so brutal if we evaluate the second approach: Saturn devouring his children (giving another turn to the matter, it is also understandable that you do in order to prevent their children give a good account of him as did Oedipus).
Examples of conflict are numerous: from the resentful father Charter of Kafka to the caustic Fathers and sons of Tuguenev or internals Amis. But it appears that all conflict. How can you raise then the relationship without conflict? How can you write about a father who devours you but which you have no intention to liquidate?
imagine that these are the questions that Hector Abad Faciolince should have been doing for many years. I guess also started writing Forgetting that we will physically or mentally, many times, perhaps, every day of his life since his father was assassinated in downtown Medellin.
Faciolince tells a story as simple as fascinating. It is the story of his father and both his own history. It's only history a father and son who love, and in the end the reader also love them both, father and son.
Faciolince The portrait that makes his father, a doctor Héctor Abad, is a good man in the sense that given the term Machado ("'m in the best sense of the word, good " said Machado) . A man who loves art and human beings from all walks in a country full of pegs (like most). But Hector Abad is not perfect. Retains certain prejudices common to his age and stubbornness make him naive. All this is what really makes it human.
This book is the best gift you could Faciolince make Héctor Abad. Without sounding prudish or affected, makes the reader feel that really met the good man who was Hector Abad. And fight well, over almost three hundred pages, against the dismal line of Borges:
We now have forgotten that we
