ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A moving novel about a father who accompanies his sick daughter on a journey through the heart of the American Midwest, facing grief, loss, and memory.

"Overnight, she had become a young activist for moral responsibility in the face of a world of adults adrift."

Wolves portrays--and sets in motion, as it is a long and unsettling road trip--the difficult relationship between a father and his teenage daughter as they cross the United States en route to a radical environmental camp she has decided to join.

The daughter's fragile health and her best friend, the father's political and literary ghosts, and new social perspectives on words and behaviors create a chasm between them that love and mutual effort cannot bridge. Catastrophe dwells in their bodies and in the collapse of the known world. The journey is, thus, a one-way foray into the language of farewell and paranoia, while the father carries a manuscript with him just as the daughter carries her fury.

Wolves, his seventh novel, confirms Roberto Brodsky's mastery in crafting a story that combines reflective writing, tension-filled dialogue, and unforgettable scenes.
