TRAS EL XITO DE EL OLVIDO QUE SEREMOS, UN MEMOIR PERSONAL DE H CTOR ABAD FACIOLINCE EN UN CONTEXTO DE VIOLENCIA: LA GUERRA DE UCRANIA «Uno de los escritores fundamentales de nuestra lengua .
Javier Cercas, El Pa s « Qu hacer con una vida cuando esta es excesiva, cuando le sobran muerte y tristeza, aunque tambi n (y en dosis parecidas) vida y alegr a? . A mediados de 2023, apenas recuperado de una cirug a a coraz n abierto, H ctor Abad Faciolince acept la invitaci n a una feria del libro en Ucrania. El viaje libresco, sin embargo, se convirti en algo m s: explorar los horrores de la invasi n rusa en la regi n del Donetsk, cerca del frente de batalla, junto a otras cuatro personas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION AFTER THE SUCCESS OF MEMORIES OF MY FATHER, COMES A PERSONAL MEMOIR BY H CTOR ABAD FACIOLINCE, IN A VIOLENT CONTEXT: THE WAR IN UKRAINE. "An essential writer in our language." --Javier Cercas, El Pa s "What do we do with a life that is excessive, when there is too much death and sadness, although also (and in similar doses) life and joy?" By mid 2023, barely recovered from an open-heart surgery, H ctor Abad Faciolince accepted an invitation to a book fair in Ukraine. This bookish journey, however, became something else: an exploration of the horrors of the Russian invasion to the Donetsk region, near the front, with other four people. On their last day, as a farewell, the group of travelers had dinner at a pizza place in Kramatorsk. There, "quick as lightning," they endured an event that would transform them forever: a Russian missile carrying thirteen hundred pounds of explosives fell right at the town center, instantly killing thirteen people and leaving over sixty wounded. One of the fatal victims was young Ukrainian writer Victoria Am lina, guide and companion throughout this testimonial journey that ended in tragedy. In his intense narration, where life, old age, and death are sharply contrasted, the author creates a chronicle of what happened, and revisits, with moving frankness, the subjects that sparked his best literature: the devastating effects of violence and war, the indignation over the deaths of innocents, the guilt and stupor of those who didn't fall, and his unquestionable impulse to share what he witnessed and reflect on the strange and hazardous experience of surviving yet again.
