Reseña del libro "A Perfect Day to Put Your Head in the Oven: A Novel (en Inglés)"
A mesmerizing and mordant novel about a young woman’s quest to understand her coming of age as a child of divorce.
After writing tens of thousands of words for her first novel, A-Dan is having a crisis. She notices that her protagonist talks, walks and thinks like her. Attempting to distinguish the character’s individuality from her own, she gradually trims the manuscript by more than half. Still questioning the inevitability of her point of view seeping into her fiction, A-Dan decides to abandon the novel and to write a memoir about her childhood instead.
In drafting the memoir, A-Dan continues to examine the conventions of narrative writing as she traces the characters and events of her childhood. Some memories stand out for their remarkable consequences, such as the morning when A-Dan learned that a schoolmate’s mother was killed in a traffic accident in their neighborhood; others left an imprint on her young mind for their sheer curiosity: after a birthday gathering, she became confused about whether a classmate’s imaginary friend had been accidentally left behind.
Delicate and bold, A-Dan’s charmingly peculiar process as a writer reveals a universal story of the innocence and loneliness of growing up, and it captures the experience of first encountering love, disappointment, betrayal and the question of mortality.
